Congratulations on reaching your six-month milestone as a Husker! We hope you are working independently and producing meaningful work. As you continue to grow and thrive in your role, these steps will ensure you stay on track for continued success and fulfillment in your position.
Complete your probationary period performance evaluation with your supervisor.
All newly hired regular employees (office/service and managerial/professional) serve a six-month original probationary period. When your original probationary period draws to a close, a performance evaluation should be completed. If a performance evaluation report is not completed and signed by the date marking the end of the first six months of service, you automatically become a regular employee of the university.
Clarify your role and performance expectations.
Meet regularly with your supervisor to ensure you understand performance expectations. This can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly one-on-one meetings. Look for opportunities within your college, school, department, or unit to understand the mission, vision, and initiatives of your area.
