Reminder: Performance appraisal period is open through Nov. 30 for all team members

Benefits & HR

Ballad Health’s performance appraisal period is underway through Nov. 30 for all team members. We want to provide you with essential information to ensure a smooth and effective evaluation process. Your contributions are invaluable to our organization, and your dedication to excellence is greatly appreciated.

General information on the performance appraisal period:

  • Dates: Annual performance appraisals are scheduled to take place between Sept. 18 and Nov. 30 for all Ballad Health team members.
  • Review period: The performance evaluation will cover the 12-month period from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
  • Annual wage increase: Team members hired into an annual increase eligible position before August 2022 will receive the full increase which takes effect in January 2024, pending approval by the Ballad Health Board of Directors. Those hired between Aug. 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023, will receive a pro-rated share of the annual increase based on their hire month.
  • New hires: Team members hired on or after June 1, 2023, will not undergo an annual performance appraisal. Since their employment period falls within a month of the evaluation period, there will be no appraisal assigned, and therefore, no annual pay increase offered in January 2024.
  • Final Written Warning: Team members who received a Final Written Warning during the evaluation period (July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023) are not eligible to receive the annual increase amount in January 2024.
  • Assessment methods: Peer-rating and self-assessment options will not be used.
  • Alternate raters: In cases where the original rater is unable to conduct the appraisal, alternate raters assigned to complete the appraisal will also be responsible for the final sign-off to close the team member appraisal.
  • Discussion format: In-person discussions are strongly encouraged for performance evaluations. However, if extenuating circumstances exist, remote discussions can also be arranged.

We appreciate your commitment to Ballad Health’s mission and values. Your dedication to delivering exceptional care to our community is the cornerstone of our success.
