8 USNH Guiding Principles of Performance Management

9 USNH Guiding Principles of Performance Management
1 Performance management is an ongoing process of setting expectations, executing plans and evaluating results. 2 Expectations should be explicit and mutually understood. 3 Engagement is increased when people are involved in planning the work. 4 How work gets accomplished is as important as what gets accomplished. 5 Regular, honest feedback increases understanding and positive performance.

10 Performance Management - Roles
Managers Plan and manage staff performance Communicate division and department goals to staff. Guide staff expectations to align with broader organizational goals Foster a work environment that encourages active staff participation Provide regular, clear, constructive feedback Monitor performance throughout the year to support the formal evaluation Devote the time and effort needed to plan and evaluate performance, and support staff Help guide and coach staff in their professional development Employees Understand how their performance expectations align with division and department goals, and participate actively in setting expectations Be open to feedback and take it to heart to improve performance and/or remain on track Monitor their own performance compared to expectations. Seek advice and guidance as needed from their supervisor Complete a Self Assessment and participate actively in the performance evaluation Be open and honest about professional growth and development plans and interests

11 Performance Management - Feedback
Feedback is an essential component of a performance culture Most beneficial if on-going Intended to support staff performance and development Applies to both positive and constructive situations On-going feedback ensures no surprises Framework assists in preparing to deliver feedback effectively

12 Goal Setting USNH Performance Management Process
Drives ongoing need to support campuses and ensure highest levels of customer service, efficiencies, “value added”; Provides clarity and structure on individual, team and department priorities and effectiveness; Fosters ongoing communication between manager and employee; Encourages performance improvements and strategies, and Follows S.M.A.R.T. method

13 Goal Setting USNH Performance Management Process
Specific: Goal objectives should address the five “Ws:” who, what, when, where, and why. Make sure the goal specifies what needs to be done with a timeframe for completion. Use action verbs such as create, design, develop, implement, produce, etc. Measurable: Goal objectives should include numeric or descriptive measures that define quantity, quality, cost, etc. How will you and your staff member know when the goal has been successfully met? Focus on elements such as observable actions, quantity, quality, cycle time, efficiency, and/or flexibility to measure outcomes — not activities.

14 Goal Setting USNH Performance Management Process
Achievable: Goal objectives should be within the staff member’s control and influence; a goal may be a stretch but still feasible. Is the goal achievable with the available resources? Is the goal achievable within the timeframe originally outlined? Consider authority or control, influence, resources, and work environment support to meet the goal. Relevant: Goals should be instrumental to the mission of the department (and ultimately, the institution). Why is the goal important? How will the goal help the department achieve its objectives? Develop goals that relate to the staff member’s key accountabilities or link with departmental goals that align with the institutional agenda. Time-bound: Goal objectives should identify a definite target date for completion and/or frequencies for specific action steps that are important for achieving the goal. How often should the staff member work on this assignment? By when should this goal be accomplished? Incorporate specific dates, calendar milestones, or timeframes that are relative to the achievement of another result (i.e., dependencies and linkages to other projects).

15 Goal:Develop a guide for supervisors
Is this a SMART goal? No!

16 Making the goal SMART GOAL: Develop a performance management guide for System Office supervisors beginning in January and finishing by the end of June, 2014 Specific?
