The performance management process provides an opportunity for the employee and the manager to agree upon performance expectations and goals. Performance plans should contribute to departmental and university mission and the professional growth of the employee.
Ongoing performance feedback should be a routine part of the performance management process. Feedback should be based on observed and/or verifiable work-related behaviors, actions, statements, and results. Effective feedback helps the employee to sustain good performance, to develop new skills and to improve performance when necessary.
Performance evaluation is an annual process of assessing, summarizing and planning for development of employee performance.
