Performance Management

Performance reviews are not just about measuring or awarding salary increases. They also cultivate engagement with an employee by discussing work assignments, evaluating effectiveness, documenting achievements, communicating appreciation, and discussing areas in need of improvement, and establishing goals to guide the work ahead, including what work should continue and what work can be set aside to focus on priorities and better facilitate work-life balance.

Performance reviews are an important part of performance management and should be administered as planned and as expected in accordance with policy and collective bargaining agreements. Reviews lay the foundation for merit decisions now and in future years.
