Memo to Management: Performance Management Courses and Process

March 28, 2018

Performance Management Courses and Evaluation Process

Performance management is a fundamental management process that helps shape how employees view and do their work at Washington University. We are now in the middle of the process for FY 2018.

We continue to hear from many employees that they are not being given formal feedback from their supervisors. We also hear input from leaders that some managers are not comfortable with the performance review process and need to learn more about how to give effective feedback. As a result, we have expanded a number of training sessions to help leaders better understand this important process.

Please register yourself or encourage other leaders in your area to attend these upcoming courses to help you effectively evaluate and communicate performance to your employees.

Last year we created a brief one-hour overview on effective performance conversations. Remaining sessions are displayed here: Effective Performance Conversations, please sign up.

Other more in-depth and impactful courses include:

• Performance Management Fundamentals
• Essentials of Having Tough Conversations Successfully
• Supervisor Essentials
