The County's Steve Wolfberg from Emergency Services and Laura Haase from County Parks and Recreation are helping to organize a Martin County contingent to participate in this major fund raising effort to benefit the American Heart Association. Contact Steve or Laura immediately if you wish to volunteer now and help finalize the County effort. Update Martin, along with information provided directly to the departments and fields offices will give you tremendous insight into the positive achievements being accomplished by the American Heart Association. Performance Management Process draft reviewed It's being called PEP by the Performance Management Team and, in all likelihood, it's a name that will stick. PEP is short for P artners for E ffective P erformance and it is intended to become the measure of success for Martin County employees as the new instrument by which mid-year and annual evaluations are conducted.
PEP is based on a three- phase performance cycle.
Phase I is the establishment of a Performance Plan which is linked to the department's work plans and organizational goals. The employee and management mutually establish goals, expectations and indicators. Phase II or Performance Management phase sets protocols for documentation of performance, providing ongoing feedback and a mid-year performance meeting requested by either partner. Next week Update Martin will discuss the Goals or Purpose of the PEP and begin to share some of the expectations used to determine success. Copies of the PEP will soon be disseminated and available for review.
