HRIC Annual Cycle

HRIC strategic priorities happen all year! We’ve created this handy calendar graphic to help you know when important events take place and when you can expect to hear from your HRIC partners. For example, remember, you should be working toward your goals for your performance evaluations year-round, so make sure you are checking in with your supervisor and tweaking those goals every quarter! You can also see fun employee engagement events like the Crimson Classic on this calendar so you’ll never miss a thing.
