Student Affairs Performance Management Program (PMP) Student Affairs PMP Training 2008 What is the Performance Management Program?  A framework for review, a uniform process and a form by which annual work performance of Student Affairs staff and management is to be assessed.  All evaluations must utilize the PMP “Employee Performance Review” form downloadable as a PDF file from the Student Affairs website.

Student Affairs Performance Management Program (PMP) Student Affairs PMP Training 2008 Why do we need PMP? Prior to PMP few Student Affairs supervisors received training to effectively review employee performance. Annual performance evaluations were rarely performed, and job descriptions were seldom updated. The Student Affairs Performance Management Program (PMP):  Institutionalizes annual performance review.  Provides meaningful feedback to employees regarding their performance  Rewards excellent work (pay for performance)  Encourages improved performance and/or continued success.  Helps supervisors engage in the professional development of their direct reports.

Student Affairs Performance Management Program (PMP) Student Affairs PMP Training 2008 PMP Themes  Meeting regularly with direct reports.  Engaging employees immediately when issues and conflicts arise.  There should be no “surprises” on the written evaluation.  Ratings (scores) need to be justified with detailed accounts of performance.  You are evaluating and commenting on one’s performance, not the person.
