Performance Management

Performance management is an ongoing process of communication between a supervisor and an employee that occurs throughout the year, in support of accomplishing the strategic objectives of the organization.  The communication process includes clarifying expectations, setting objectives, identifying goals, providing feedback and reviewing results.

Performance Management includes developing accurate, well-written job descriptions, clearly communicated performance standards, and consistent, ongoing coaching and feedback sessions designed to encourage high levels of performance.

Through performance coaching, supervisors help employees develop their skills by providing feedback regarding quantity and quality of work.  Supervisors and employees discuss challenges faced as well as accomplishments attained.

Performance appraisal is the tool utilized to quantify and assess an employee's individual contribution to the University during a specified period of time.

The performance appraisal system provides an opportunity for an objective dialogue between the employee and the supervisor about the individual's work performance. Performance appraisals for every non-faculty employee are required annually.
