The performance of Winthrop staff is evaluated according to the Employee Performance Management System ( EPMS Policy). Starting January 1, 2020, Winthrop began using a new online system for the completion of EPMS (annual, probationary, trial and short year reviews) which may be accessed in Wingspan on the Employee Details tab by selecting “Position/Performance Management.” As such, supervisors are now required to create a plan (formerly referred to as a planning stage document) in the new online portal location prior to the creation of the 2020 performance review. Additional information and instructions for completing EPMS in the Employee Management System “Performance Management (PeopleAdmin)” can be found below. For reference, information in the prior system can still be accessed in Wingspan on the Employee Details by selecting “EPMS (Pre 2020).
