People have the unique ability to create value for the company
Rewards are based on performance – of the individual and HA
Developing your people is important to sustain high performance work standards
Aligned performance ratings drive desired results and consistent management practices
Managers and employees are mutually accountable for the process
Employees are responsible for their own career development, with guidance and support from their manager

coaching

rating
Manager and Employee Partnership
Performance management is the ongoing process of aligning individual goals to organizational initiatives,
and evaluating results
9
Goal Setting and Development Planning
Why is goal settingimportant?
Why is development planning important?
Drives employee performance
Establishes alignment with the business
Employee defines the goal and works with their Manager to align and prioritize
Accelerates individual performance and growth
– Align to goals and career aspirations
Increases business performance
– What skills and talents are necessary to scale quickly to current business needs?
10
Write SMART Goals
Specific Does the goal explain precisely what has to be achieved?
The goal should be described as specifically as possible. A goal of attending weekly staff meetings is not specific. A goal of identifying attendees, establishing the meeting agenda, and recording action items is specific. Even better is to set a specific target aligning meeting goals with department goals.
Measurable Does the goal indicate how the results will be measured? To be effective, the goal must be measurable. Obviously, the number of meetings scheduled is measureable. The quality of the meeting can be measured by identifying some best practices that are measureable. Perhaps spending 5 minutes at the end of the meeting to seek feedback would be appropriate.
Achievable & Action Oriented Will you be able to achieve these goals you set? There's an art to goal setting that revolves around the goal's difficulty. A goal too easy is not energizing. A goal too difficult seems hopeless. Both too easy and too difficult are goal setting no-no's. Set the level of challenge somewhere in between. A good way to decide that a goal is achievable but challenging is to visualize yourself reaching the goal. Can you see yourself there? Are you energized by seeing the vision? If both of these are not present, revisit your goal.
Realistic & Relevant Do you have the knowledge, skill set, and competency to reach your goal?
Is it clear how the business and your personal development will be positively impacted by the goal?
Time-dimensioned Does the goal state an achievement schedule? When will progress be reviewed and achievement met?
Setting a deadline provides necessary positive tension to give you the energy to get on with it. The time frame you select should be realistic. Attending meetings three times a week may not be realistic, and could possibly affect other work priorities.
11
Examples of SMART Goals?
Perform monthly budget accruals
Complete audits in the month they are due
Check logs daily
Meet department goals for safety
12
Examples of SMART Goals
Establish and facilitate a meeting with at least four managers to discuss best practices when conducting successful employee hearings. Identify at least three best practices to implement during the Q4 employee hearings.
Meet with general counsel each trimester to identify ways to prevent re-occurring grievance situations, and establish actionable steps to help alleviate similar situations by 5%.
Attend a conference to improve professional skillset, network, and stay current on industry trends. Share what you learned with the team and make one recommendation for process improvement.
