Non-aligned Performance Management System FY 2023 Goal Setting
The FY 2023 Goal Setting period opened August 1, 2022 in the Non-aligned Staff Performance Management System. The Goal Setting process should be completed by September 30, 2022.
The University Human Resources Performance Management Program website has various resources for the Manager/Supervisor, the Non-aligned Employee, as well as for Faculty who are Managers, to assist with the Goal Setting process. In addition, please find the PowerPoint presentation, Goals – An Overview, presented by Vice Dean of Administration, Maria Anderson, during the August Administrative Seminar.
Manager/Supervisor of Non-aligned Staff
- At this time, you should be establishing the Performance Goals for the unit and for each of the Non-aligned staff who report to you. In establishing the Performance Goals please review the job duties of the Non-aligned Staff Employee and formulate Performance Goals (suggest 2 – 3) that encompass the critical duties of the position. In addition, identify 1 or 2 Performance Goals related to a project or initiative. When defining the Performance Goal and establishing the Thresholds please develop SMART Goals with clearly articulated Thresholds. The Performance Management website has a SMART Goal Bank, as well as a SMART Goals worksheet to assist with Performance Goal development. There are also SMART goal setting resources in LinkedIn Learning.
- At this time, you can also establish Development Goals (suggest 1 – 2) for the non-aligned staff employee.
- Share the Performance and Development Goals with the Non-aligned Staff Employee. The formulation and discussion of both Performance and Development goals can be done mostly outside the system. Once the supervisor and employee have agreed upon the Development and Performance Goals the employee can enter the goals, with Thresholds for Performance Goals, in the Non-aligned Performance Management system. The supervisor may also cascade Performance Goals to an employee (s) on your Team.
