Lunch-n-Learn March, 21, 2023: Topic is Check Ins

Submitted by Sherri Webster

What are check-ins? Check-ins are used for agile performance which is a revolutionary approach to continually improving performance that moves us from evaluating past performance to coaching for future performance. It focuses on growth and development and takes the place of annual performance reviews. You can initiate and hold regular, informal Check-ins with your manager. The Check-in allows you the opportunity to give and receive feedback, improve performance, focus work and develop priorities that achieve results. Check-ins should occur at least quarterly.

All staff members and managers who supervise staff members should attend the lunch-n-learn on Tuesday, March 21st beginning at noon (feel free to bring your lunch). It will be held in the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation (CTLI) room located on the 6th floor of Jefferson. If you are not on campus you can attend via zoom, please email Sherri Webster so that the link can be sent to you. Jeff Metzger and Jason Steele will be the presenters.

Check-ins are a mandatory requirement for all staff members - does apply to faculty members. You are strongly encouraged to attend so that you understand how to use the check-in program as it is now being implemented per College Administration.
