The Performance Management function is essential to supporting management in developing the skill-sets of a goal-oriented and productive workforce. Our goal is to cultivate a culture of employee engagement by ensuring that each employee is aware of the expectations associated with their role and responsibilities in relation to achieving the University’s mission, vision and departmental goals. Performance Management is based on the principles of setting expectations, coaching and evaluating performance which are fundamental elements of the overall performance management process.
