To all immediate supervisors and Unit Directors of direct-hire (centrally-funded) staff members,
Please be informed that the online performance appraisal for this year 2020, covering the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, is now open.
The online system can be accessed through the “PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL” link in the HRIS menu (https://hris.ait.ac.th). The immediate supervisors are able to now complete the individual Performance Appraisal Reports for all employees under their supervision, and submit them individually (electronically). The Unit Heads shall then review and endorse all completed Performance Appraisal Reports not later than 18 September 2020.
The online / web-based system has archived the appraisal results from 2014 (“Appraisal History” link in the HRIS menu) and will build up annual data that will be available to directors / immediate supervisors and AIT Management.
The performance appraisal process will be carried out in conjunction with the annual budget process. These annual performance appraisal results will be used for the purpose of determining the annual salary adjustment and staff training and development needs and will be taken into consideration in preparing the 2021 year budgets.
Should you encounter technical problems, please report them to Helpdesk (helpdesk@ait.asia). Please convey other feedback to HRO (director-ohrs@ait.asia).
