Understanding Performance Management


Performance Management is an ongoing process of communication between a supervisor and
an employee that occurs throughout the year, in support of accomplishing the strategic
objectives of the organization. The communication process includes clarifying expectations,
setting objectives, identifying goals, providing feedback, and reviewing results.

Implementing performance management


We are committed to maintaining a positive work environment and treating all employees fairly.
In that spirit, we will:

● Ensure that performance objectives are clear, measurable, and mutually agreed upon
● Maintain open lines of communication with all employees to address concerns promptly
● Provide support and resources to managers and supervisors to handle performance
issues appropriately
● Regularly review and update our performance management processes to ensure they
are fair and transparent
● Addressing performance issues

If you are experiencing performance issues, we encourage you to:

● Seek feedback and clarification on your performance objectives


● Discuss these issues with your supervisor or HR department as soon as possible
● Seek advice and support from the HR department

We will investigate all reports thoroughly and take necessary actions to resolve the situation.
This may include additional training, changes to work practices, or performance improvement
plans.

Disciplinary consequences
If an employee's performance does not meet the agreed-upon standards, they may face
disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Examples of such behavior include, but are
not limited to:
● Consistently failing to meet performance objectives.
● Neglecting duties or responsibilities.
● Failing to improve performance after being provided with support and resources.
