TEXT 1. WHAT IS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT?

Definitions

Performance Management is a constant communication process when the performance manager and the employee are:

   identifying and describing essential job functions on the basis of the mission and goals of the organization

   developing realistic and appropriate performance standards

   giving and receiving feedback about performance

   writing and communicating constructive performance appraisals

   planning education and development opportunities to improve employee work performance.

    Employee is the person whose performance is managed.

    Performance Standards are written statements describing how well a job must be performed.

   Performance Appraisal is a process of assessing, summarizing, and developing the work performance of an employee.

   The performance management process begins with analysis and de­scription of the job. The performance manager identifies essential func­tions in the job description and the strategic mission and goals of the department or organizational unit. In cooperation with the employee standards of minimum acceptable performance are developed for the position. Additionally, standards for performance that exceeds expec­tations may be set to encourage the employee to reach even better re­sults.

During the appraisal period (typically one year), the performance manager observes the performance of the employee, focusing on help­ing the employee to achieve successful performance. At the end of the appraisal period, and in collaboration with the employee, the perfor­mance manager prepares and writes a final copy of the written perfor­mance appraisal.

At any point in the process, the employee and performance man­ager may identify needs and create a plan for employee education, training or development in job- or career-related areas.

The issues related to performance management of teams and team members arise out of the variety of reporting relationships and degree of independent responsibility that teams exercise.
