Performance Communication

Effective performance feedback is critical to the success of the college and the individual employee. A strong performance communication process:

• helps employees improve what they do and how they do it, enabling them to give greater support to the goals of their department and the college;
• fosters an environment of continuous feedback and professional growth;
• creates a shared understanding of the skills and abilities or the demonstrated "know how" necessary to be successful on the job;
• gives employees the opportunity to access their own performance and describe their contributions; and
• provides employees with an action plan to develop the skills and behaviors that will ensure their success and the success of the unit.
