What is
Performance Management?
Performance management is a set of strategies and actions designed to develop
and utilize all of the individual talents that exist in the College to achieve
optimal results.
Performance management is an ongoing process that facilitates the planning,
coaching and evaluating of employee performance.
Many organizations appraise performance - evaluating performance results and
behaviors. Performance management allows organizations to manage performance
with employees working throughout the year to plan, monitor and develop the
expected results and behaviors. The performance evaluation is just part of
the performance management process. The College has created a performance evaluation
form to facilitate this process which is based on a set of compentencies which
are college-wide behaviors and responsibilities that all employees are expected
to exhibit. Expanded descriptions of the performance evaluation competencies
and evaluation criteria are on pages 15 through 19.
Specifically, the performance management process involves:
- a meeting between supervisor and employee at the beginning of the performance
cycle to plan, set goals and identify development needs and opportunities;
- providing
continuous feedback throughout the year on performance, goals, directions
and changing expectations;
- coaching all levels of performance;
- evaluating performance at the end of
the year; and
- developing plans to maintain and/or improve performance for
the next year.
Performance management, a process that empowers employees to play a major
role in their own performance planning and development, gives supervisors and
employees the tools to succeed.
An effective performance management program will result in improved operations
for the College, more highly satisfied and motivated employees, and better
outcomes and services.
