Performance management is an ongoing, collaborative process between leadership and employees to build relationships, set expectations and goals, give and receive feedback and discuss professional development needs and career aspirations.
Process
Performance management at UCSF is a critical process that fosters a shared understanding of roles and responsibilities. It involves a cycle of honest and open communication focused on planning, progress and action. Performance management brings out growth and development of the employee in service to the organization.
