Performance Management
The Commonwealth's performance evaluation process of state merit employees is an important part of an employee’s work life. The system establishes clear performance goals, recognizes outstanding performance and encourages productive communication with an employee’s supervisor.
The system was developed to assist with communication between the employee and supervisor (evaluator) and includes planning, coaching, feedback, documentation and annual performance evaluation. Performance evaluations are important opportunities for supervisors and employees to share in an open dialog, set goals and methods of attaining goals, and discuss an employee's individual performance.
Information pertaining to Performance Evaluations is available on this page.
