The Performance Management Process is designed to promote excellence and improve employee performance. The PMP is a valuable tool for both managers and employees and, when applied correctly, will continually challenge employees to improve performance and personal effectiveness.

• Demonstrate the University’s commitment to each employee’s success
• Identify employee strengths and areas that need improvement
• Provide feedback to employees on their overall job performance
• Align individual goals with the University’s mission, vision and strategic goals
• Allow employees to take responsibility for their performance
• Assist managers and supervisors in documenting employee performance
• Clarify understanding of specific job expectations
• Place primary emphasis on employee self-development and intimately involve the individual in the planning and implementation of career objectives
• Provide a tool which enables management to assess individual strengths and development needs, relate these assessments to current and future job requirements, and make staffing and organization plans accordingly
• Link employee pay to performance

The PMP is an on-going, twelve-month process that is encapsulated in the Performance Management Form (PMF). The PMF should be completed between January 1st and March 31st of each year.
