DHHS Performance Management for Employees
The purpose of the Performance Management system at DHHS is to ensure that all employees understand the link between their work and the department's goals.
A solid Performance Management System ensures that employees are:
- Aware of the quality and quantity of work expected of them;
- Provided with continuous feedback about their performance that reflects the application of DHHS Values;
- Provided with opportunities for employee development; and
- Aware that performance ratings are based on the results the employee achieves and that reflect consistent application of the DHHS Values.
So, why does your supervisor develop a work performance plan with you? Why do you meet with your supervisor throughout the year about your goals and achievements? Why does your work need to be rated? Do you have a voice in the planning and tracking?
This guide will help you to understand how the Performance Management System at DHHS works and the important role you play in that process.
