Because of this, exceptional performance will be recognisable and poor performance can be addressed. Specifics Supervisors are key players in the review process. In the immediate future, training for supervisors will be available in goal setting, assessment techniques and improving unsatisfactory performance. This will give us a good chance at achieving consistency across areas and a fair outcome for staff. Areas wishing to know more about this are invited to contact email Helen Richmond or phone Helen on extension 52208.
Performance management is about planning and communicating to get things done.
Supervisors make local area directions known to staff and let staff know how they are able to contribute to that. Staff get to negotiate their professional development requirements and know what is expected of them. From this we can see that it is a top down process. Information comes from the University Executive through to Directors and Deans who pass it on to those whom they supervise, who pass it on to those whom they supervise . . . . . In this way, everyone gets to contribute to achieving the strategic directions of the University.
