Maximize Planning Time Of position description and work plan
Minimize emphasis on “data entry” of on-line forms
Perfect timing to take focus off “paperwork” of performance management
Maximize emphasis on communication and feedback
Planning (Development of Work plan) 20% Managing (Interim Review &
Interaction Management) 60% Appraising (Completion of Appraisal) 20%
Position & Employee Life Cycle6
Position Description Job Duties + Requirements (including ADA)-Basis of career band title and level-Basis of salary range and starting salary-Basis of performance expectations
Work Plan (submit within 30 days of hire) Performance Expectations
-Basis of probationary review (for new hires, six months after hire)-Basis of interim review (for permanent employees, mid-cycle)-Basis of Performance Evaluation and Ratings
Performance Evaluation (annually in March)-Evaluation cycle: 3/1 – 2/28, for employees in permanent status by November 30
Performance Management: Work Plans
7
Work plans: Are based on position descriptions Require established methods of evaluation Outline to an employee what they will be
measured on for that performance year Can be updated year after year May result from a collaborative effort between an
employee and their manager Work plans should have GOALS!
Performance Management: Work Plans
8
Functional Competencies – “Building blocks” of career band title and level; standardized required components of the position.
Job Duties – Originate in Position Description. Task examples of what the employee must do vs. SMART goals stating how you expect specific tasks to be done during the performance cycle
Priority Order – Established by job description, ranking of functional competencies from most to least important to business need
SMART Goals- Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-Oriented, and Time-bound – adjectives that describe how to write performance goals for employee evaluation
Behavioral Competencies – valued attitudes and behaviors that support functional competencies and assist in identifying reasons for performance success and difficulties
Work Plan –Methods of Evaluation Checklist

Supervisory Observation Sampling and Statistics
Spot Checks Peer Feedback
Third Party Feedback Project Results
Self Report Employee submits his or her own assessment of annual
work accomplishments to supervisor prior to supervisor entering comments on the evaluation in HRMS.
In some departments, this is expected practice. It is not required as a method
Work Plan Timeline10
Develop when – New position is created Position is modified and reallocated to new career band
Review and revise when – Position description is modified and job duties change Position becomes vacant At beginning of performance cycle to incorporate new goals
When developed, reviewed or revised – Discuss with employee Submit to employee for certification Submit to HR within 30 days of start date or effective date
Performance Management: Interim Review
11
Distinction: Probationary Review for newly hired employees
Interim Review is annual for all employees Both measured by Work Plan Interim Review typically occurs in September Conducted by supervisor “honor system” – HR
does not usually collect Semi-annual interim performance counseling Structured communication/feedback process
for supervisors and employeesUNCC Legal Policy Statement # 54
Performance Management: Probationary Review
12
Employees new to state universities and state government serve a probationary period
“Essential extension” of selection process for Assisting employee in meeting expectations in Work
Plan Ending employment in cases of unsatisfactory
performance 3- 9 months, 6 months is standard.
< 6 requires exception > 6 is considered “extension” based on probationary
review Extension requires Improvement Plan At end of 9 months, employee automatically
receives permanent status if manager takes no action and submits no review
State Personnel Manuel, Section 3
Performance Management: Probationary Review
13
Supervisor’s Responsibility: Help employee succeed. Terminate employee when competencies do not
match business needs Measure by Work Plan Respond to HR prompts to complete review Document “meets” or “conditional”
Conditional will extend probation Conditional status will be referred to Employee
Relations “Meets” or above – Recommends for Permanent
Status Validate or revise Initial Competency
Assessment
Performance Management: Annual Evaluation
14
Measured by Work Plan Annual cycle is March 1 – February 28 Mandatory for all employees in permanent status by
December 1 of the cycle Submission deadline is April 30 Two-way conversation is important
Rating scale: 5- Outstanding 4- Very Good 3- Good, meets expectations 2- Below Good 1- Unsatisfactory State Personnel Manuel, Section 3
Performance Management: Annual Career Development Plans
15
An Annual Career Development Plan is a component of the Performance Evaluation
An action plan for enhancing an employee’s level of performance in order to excel in the current job or prepare for new responsibilities
A list of opportunities for career development activities to enhance job performance
State Personnel Manuel, Section 10
Performance Management: Improvement Plan 16
Corrective action plan – A short-term action plan that is initiated when an employee’s performance fails to meet expectations. Its purpose is to achieve an improvement in performance.
Complete to assist employee who is not meeting expectations (rated in any area “below good” - 2)
A plan may be created any time during the performance cycle, but is typically designed in response to a probationary, interim, or annual review
Supervisor outlines a specific plan to measure employee improvement in the weak area(s)
Supervisor and employee agree to the conditionsState Personnel Manuel, Section 10
Performance Evaluation ≠ Competency Assessment
17
Red Flag- watch out for confusion For Managers coming into the state university system from pay-for-
performance companies, the role of the Performance Evaluation is difficult to distinguish from the role of the competency assessment.
The Competency Assessment is a tool for adjusting pay based on demonstration or development of required functional competencies, as noted in the Compensation session this morning.
The following table clarifies distinct purposes of each process:
Performance Management vs. Competency Assessment
18
Performance Management (Supervisor’s Expectations)
Competency Assessment (State of NC Compensation Market Standards)
Performance Management begins with the mandatory Work Plan and communicates expectations on which the evaluation will occur
Initial Competency Assessment identifies whether candidate meets required competencies and is selected as “most qualified”
Performance Management includes a mandatory annual performance evaluation but currently no specific rating is tied to a salary increase
Initial Competency Assessment may justify starting salary lower or higher than market rate. After initial assessment, there is no annual requirement
Performance ratings of “below good” may result in a smaller or no increase only when the General Assembly legislates an across-the-board increase
Subsequent Competency Assessments document competency development and may justify career progression increase if new competencies are required for new duties
Performance Management s an on-going process of communication and feedback throughout the evaluation cycle
A Competency Assessment should be reviewed every 3 years to determine whether demonstrated competencies are meeting new competency requirements

Work Plan and S.M.A.R.T. Goals20
SpecificMeasurableAttainableResults-OrientedTime-bound
When setting goals, the functional competencies act as the main guide and reference. Goals should be set that not only address what is expected, but also how it will be achieved. For example, the "what" covers quality or quantity expected, deadlines to be met, cost to deliver, etc. The "how" refers to the behavior demonstrated to achieve outcomes, for example, focus on customer service. Goals are written at the “good” level.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals in Detail21
Specific Does the goal refer to a specific area of performance? Is there only one, very clear picture of what success looks like when this goal is met?Measurable Can the goal be objectively measured? Can the goal be evaluated? Can the goal be managed?Attainable Is there a 50 to 66% chance the goal can be achieved? Can the goal be achieved given available resources? Are the competencies required to achieve the goal available?Results – Oriented Is the goal important and will it have a positive impact on results? Is the goal aligned with other university, departmental, team and individual goals?Time-bound By when does the goal need to be achieved? What are the incremental measurement points? How does this goal impact other departments and other people?

Behavioral Competencies in the Work Plan25
Sample Behavioral SMART Goals in the Work Plan
26
The total number of functional and behavioral competencies listed in a work plan should not exceed 12.
Ongoing Activity: Observe, Note, Discuss
After work plan is developed or revised, document work habits or behaviors you notice effectively contributing to goal achievement
Record and mention to employee any work habits or behaviors you notice not effectively contributing to goal achievement
For new employee, a more formal discussion at 3 months is recommended
Don’t wait until the Interim Review memo from HR to talk about performance goals!
Preparation for End of Cycle: Performance Evaluation
28
Prepare – gather your documentation of performance Ask your employee to prepare: If desired, supervisors may
encourage employees to provide self-evaluations to which they may then respond Ask your employees to also contribute to ideas for their training in
the next FY. Ask your employees to think about their career growth
Consider methods of evaluation. What other feedback have you received over the year regarding this employee?
Schedule a formal appointment for the employee to discuss the performance results either before or after you submit your written comments, based on your preference.
Make every effort not to have to re-schedule. Most employees are nervous and this will help set them at ease.
29
Provide a “rating” for each expectation Discuss any potential “mine fields” with your supervisor
(the appraisal reviewer) before having employee discussion After your comments and ratings on their goal
achievements are entered into the evaluation, the employee will be asked to certify the following statement:
“…my manager met with me and reviewed this work plan with me. In addition, I have reviewed the work plan and have had the opportunity to ask questions and make comments during this meeting.”
When employee returns to you, you submit to Evaluation Reviewer (your manager).
No evaluation results should be a surprise!!!

Final Notes and Reminders34
If employee comes off probation in December, January or February, annual performance evaluation not due until end of following cycle (ex: hired in July 2011, 1st evaluation June 2013) In these cases, you must be diligent in providing
feedback without the mandatory requirements! If employee changes jobs through on-campus recruitment
during cycle, both supervisors are responsible for contributing to annual appraisal (make notes on performance when a person leaves your unit to provide next supervisor)
If employee’s job changes through supervisor request (title, level, or competency change), supervisor is responsible for revising work plan within 30 days of change
The term “annual appraisal” is synonymous with “annual performance evaluation.” The new system uses the term “evaluation” so moving forward, try to use that terminology
