Your Annual Summary Review is due April 30

Now’s the time to schedule your Annual Summary Review due April 30. The review will be completed entirely in the UDOT dashboards. Make sure you are logged into your State of Utah Google account to access the dashboards:

Supervisor Dashboard

Employee Dashboard

Similar to previous reviews, the steps include:

1. Schedule a time to meet.

2. Prepare for the performance conversation by reviewing workplace expectations and job-related goals recorded in Vantage. Refer to the Discussion Guide as a resource.

3. Hold the performance conversation. Note: Supervisor comments are required in the dashboard for all ratings. Employee comments are optional in the acknowledgement.

4. Complete the individualized Google form on the Supervisor Dashboard. 

5. The employee acknowledges that the performance conversation occurred in the Employee Dashboard.

The Annual Summary Review is the basis for pay-for-performance awards and will formally complete the 2026 Performance Year. This will be the last time we use UDOT dashboards to record the review. The following resources are available to help you with the performance review process:

Note: Performance plans and quarterly reviews for the 2027 Performance Plan Year will take place in Vantage. A performance plan template that matches UDOT’s policy will be assigned to all employees on May 1, 2026. It will show the behavior-based goal and have space for you to edit the two job-specific goals. 

You can begin planning goals for next year using the discussion tool and then copy goals into the template in Vantage when it becomes available. The 2027 Performance Plan goals will be due May 31, 2026. Step by step instructions for plan creation and quarterly reviews in Vantage will be provided in late-April.
