There are three phases of each annual PATH cycle. The steps within each phase are as follows:

Goal-setting: July through October

• Log into Workday and find PATH goal-setting task in your inbox

• Enter goals
• Review and reflect on job description
• Submit PATH, which goes to supervisor
• Supervisor reviews and approves goals, with discussion if needed

Mid-year review: November through February

• Revise, update, change existing goals if needed
• Add new goals if priorities have shifted or your job has changed
• Add comments about progress towards meeting goals
• Check in with supervisor to make sure expectations are clear
