Design
The university does not specify a particular form. Departments can design
their own to best meet their objectives. Major Duties and Performance
Standards should be a central part of all forms. You might want to consider
building in space for one or more of the following:
- Annual goals (see below)
- Professional development (see below)
- Supervisory comments
- Employee comments
- Ratings
Annual goals
Most professional positions have annual goals in addition to the Major
Job Duties. These goals change from year to year, are usually determined
in a collaborative effort between supervisor and employee, and are tied
to the organization's goals. If goals are included in the form, it would
be a good idea to also include performance standards for those goals.
Example of annual goals:
- Develop and implement a new xyz system by the start of the fall semester.
The system must meet the needs of the users, be reliable and user friendly.
The project will meet or come in under budget.
- Increase revenues by 20% by the end of the calendar year.
- Chair committee to analyze the processes within the department and
submit recommendations for change by June 1.
- Develop and implement a professional development plan for all staff
prior to the start of the academic year. Each plan shall incorporate
any development needs identified for the employee’s current responsibilities
and any development needs identified due to changing organizational
needs.
- Develop three new training programs to be offered in the Spring semester.
These programs will be based on the needs of the targeted population,
reflect the latest research in the field and be developed consistent
with adult learning theories.
- Coordinate and implement a performance management plan for the organization
by the end of the calendar year. The plan should meet all of the guidelines
proposed by the university. A draft of the plan should be presented
to administration no later than July 1.
Professional development
Professional development is often included in a performance management
plan. This provides the supervisor and employee an opportunity to discuss
what training, work experiences, etc. would enhance the employee’s
value to the organization. Normally this is done by adding the following
question to the form: What professional development activities are
suggested for this employee?
