Manager Suggests a G oal EPMP 2014-15

Overview
The performance management process is designed to support the continuous improvement
of DPS through a cycle of setting and achieving high impact goals, sharing frequent and
focused performance feedback, and demonstration of our Shared Core Values. This guide
provides managers step-by-step instructions on how to suggest a goal for an employee.
Before you begin
Putting it together
Not only do goals drive personal, team and district achievements,
they are a key component of the performance management cycle.
Goals are a component of the year-end appraisal. The year-end
appraisal overall score may impact compensation through our payfor-performance program.
Key dates
The performance year runs 7/1 – 6/30. It’s important to set goals
that will be completed within this time period.
Goal setting typically takes place during the summer with goals
being finalized by September.
New employees or employees new to their current role should set
goals with their manager within their first 60 days.
