titleHistorical Updates

Annual Review

Some significant changes are coming to the Performance Evaluation, now called "Annual Review." The most notable difference is that the Missionary now has a central role in the Annual Review. They will initially complete a Missionary Input tab, which allows them to do a self-assessment on their performance of MTD, Ministry Duties, Ministry Skills, and Character. They will also share their accomplishments over the past year and goals for the following year.

The new Annual Review can be tailored to the job role. Like the previous version, the Missionary will add five to seven of their most significant ministry duties to the Review. However, then they can now select five ministry skills from a list (or add skills, not on the list) that are most necessary for their role and complete a self-assessment on those skills.

The rating scales have also been changed on the new Annual Review to more simplified language. 

After the Missionary completes their portion, they will share it with their Supervisors and/or other leaders who will complete the Annual Review. The Supervisor should review the Missionary Input tab and then fill out the Supervisor Input tab. The Missionary will be able to see what the Supervisor entered in the Annual Review.

Video Tutorials are available for Missionaries and Supervisors to view before starting their portions of the Annual Review.
