Looking at the calendar you can see that we are more than halfway through the 2021 performance year. In this second year using Perform many managers and supervisors have begun to build their confidence with using the system for check-ins, journal entries, evaluations, and ratings.
To help you become more comfortable with the system we invite you to attend the upcoming Ask HR session on implementing Perform’s best practices.
This session will help managers:
-
Use the system more efficiently
- Effectively manage and document performance
-
Use the competency model to set expectations and describe professional behaviors
Ask HR: Best practices using the Perform module
The Outlook invitation has already been sent to all managers and supervisors with direct reports. Please contact Paula.Crane@metc.state.mn.us if you did not receive a meeting invite. If you cannot attend live, the session will be recorded and posted on MetNet for later viewing.

Monday marked the 31st anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a federal civil rights law that requires equal treatment of people with disabilities. The ADA prohibits discrimination in services, employment, government, and other areas of public life.
Did you know that the Met Council recently updated its Disability Management and Reasonable Accommodation Policy and Disability and Accommodation Procedure?
To request a reasonable accommodation, contact your manager or submit an Employee Request for Accommodation (PDF) to Occupational Health at
HR-OccHealth@metc.state.mn.us.

A “change in family status” is the Internal Revenue Service rule that allows you to adjust your benefit selections when unforeseen circumstances occur between open enrollment periods. Only specific events qualify as a change in family status. Examples of a family status change include marriage, divorce, loss or gain of other group coverage, birth or adoption of a child, or changing from part time to full time (or vice versa).
Fit For Life’s upcoming online events include financial workshops, live cooking demos, resiliency sessions, health equity events, family and caregiver support, live fitness classes, and more!
