Why This Measure Matters​

Regular performance evaluations reinforce engagement by clarifying expectations, recognizing contributions, and identifying professional development needs. Tracking the percentage of completed evaluations ensures that every employee receives feedback and growth opportunities. A culture of consistent evaluation directly supports retention by demonstrating the County’s investment in employee success and career development.

What’s the Story?​

Skagit County implemented a new performance management software platform in 2025, and is in the process of rolling out new training both for supervisors and employees around effective goal setting, one-on-one follow-ups.  In 2024, 12.7% of employees received an employee evaluation.  In 2025 so far, 21.2% have received one.  We expect this number to continue to increase as further attention and accountability on this initiative increase.
