Performance Management

Managers and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an informal, day-to-day basis, as there are occurrences of both positive and negative issues.

The purpose of performance evaluations is to inform employees of the quality of their work, to identify those areas needing improvement, to set specific objectives for the employees, and to provide employees an opportunity to discuss their career goals and the support they need for those goals. Evaluations also assist department heads and managers in evaluating their work force, identifying employee potential and establishing priorities for training, education, and reward.

During the probationary period, employees must be evaluated during their fourth month of employment or at other intervals within the six-month period as required by the component's rule (SAGO Policy 33.99.03). This evaluation will be in addition to the annual review, unless the fourth month of employment falls within one month of the normal annual review period for the component.
