COVID-19 Vaccine – Vaccinated Outside of Emory?
If you received your COVID-19 vaccine at a location outside of Emory, you can upload documentation of your vaccine to the Emory H.O.M.E. portal. This will not only help Emory keep track of how many people in our community have been vaccinated on our campus, but will also stop the vaccine reminder emails that are being sent to you. Here are the steps:

1. Log into PeopleSoft/Employee Self-Service
2. Click on “Workplace Health” (you will be prompted to log in again)
3. Click the “EMORY H.O.M.E. PORTAL” button
4. Select the “Vaccine Consents/Questionnaires” tab (left hand menu)
5. Find the box labeled “COVID-19 Vaccine Outside Documentation”
6. Click the box to verify your vaccination status outside of Emory Healthcare. If you received both doses outside of Emory Healthcare, please fill out both Dose 1 and Dose 2 forms.

Performance Management - A Year-Round Process
Performance Management is a year-round process. The Mid-Year is a great, easy way to get feedback early in the year to determine if you are “on track” or need some help. You do not have to complete the entire form: only where feedback is needed and at the end (Overall).  Mid-Year reviews are due April 7th.  If you cannot complete your Mid-Year form by April 7th and need more time, please do so before April 16th. On Friday, April 16th all forms will be advanced to the next form in the process: the Year-End form.  Year-End forms are due (i.e. acknowledged and marked “complete” by the Supervisor) on August 31st.  If you would like to learn more about the Performance Management system, we have two Computer Based Training courses available in ELMS:

• Performance Management at Emory: What Employees Should Know (Class Code 200882-15920)
  
  
• Performance Management at Emory for Managers: What Managers Should Know (Class Code 200884-15921)

Online tools: Our Step-by-Step Guides located on the Performance Management website can help you navigate the features in the system:

• Step-by-Step for Managers
• Step-by-Step for Employees
