Performance Review & Work Planning Policy

Performance review and work planning is a learning process whereby each employee's job performance is consciously analyzed and channeled to result in more effective attainment of organizational goals through the enhancement of employee performance. Reviews must be done at least annually according to state statute. Except for non-represented employees, monetary rewards are not linked to the reviews.

Effective learning through planning and review is an ongoing process between supervisor and employee, and includes:

• Daily comments,
• Periodic discussion of areas of special concern, and
• Annual (or more frequent) summary conferences of overall responsibilities and performance.

Each of the three elements of the performance review and work planning process is necessary to the entire system, and each contributes to the overall objective of achieving high-level performance through employee development. Using these elements provides frequent and meaningful feedback to the employee. To make the process most beneficial, employees are encouraged to actively participate and comment during the conference.

Written summaries of the results of performance review and work planning conferences:

• Provide an outline for the employee of what is expected, and
• Aid both supervisor and employee in evaluating and facilitating progress toward job expectations.
