Performance
Management Program
Introduction
Mount Holyoke College is committed to educating a diverse community of women
at the highest level of academic excellence and to fostering the alliance of
liberal arts education with purposeful engagement in the world. All employees
are expected to support and contribute to the central elements of the College’s
mission.
Mount Holyoke College’s Performance Management Program is intended to
help employees recognize their own potential contribution to the College, participate
in continuous feedback and support, and remain flexible to accommodate situational
changes. Performance management will also help achieve individual, department,
and College-wide results by:
- opening the lines of communication and promoting a work environment in
which goals are set and achieved through working together;
- providing the tools to identify and recognize good performance;
- maximizing individuals’ potential by developing their skills and
talents;
- coaching performance at different levels; and
- providing the tools to plan, maintain and continuously improve future performance.
Every aspect of the Performance Management Program is intended to facilitate
communication between supervisor and employee.
In order for this Program to be effective, all supervisors and employees will
receive training. Employees need to understand the Performance Management Program
and the expectations of their own jobs to improve their performance; supervisors
need to learn how to improve their coaching and motivating skills. All members
of the Mount Holyoke College community need to learn how to give and receive
feedback effectively.
