Performance management is an ongoing process of setting expectations, executing plans and evaluating results.
Engagement is increased when people are involved in planning the work.
How work gets accomplished is as important as what gets accomplished.
Regular, honest feedback increases understanding and positive performance.
Expectations should be explicit and mutually understood.

USNH Performance Management Process Starts with
Goal Setting
12
USNH Performance Management Process
Goal Setting
Specific: Goal objectives should address the five “Ws:” who, what, when, where, and why. Make sure the goal specifies what needs to be done with a timeframe for completion. Use action verbs such as create, design, develop, implement, produce, etc.
Measurable: Goal objectives should include numeric or descriptive measures that define quantity, quality, cost, etc. How will you and your staff member know when the goal has been successfully met? Focus on elements such as observable actions, quantity, quality, cycle time, efficiency, and/or flexibility to measure outcomes — not activities.
13
Achievable: Goal objectives should be within the staff member’s control and influence; a goal may be a stretch but still feasible. Is the goal achievable with the available resources? Is the goal achievable within the timeframe originally outlined? Consider authority or control, influence, resources, and work environment support to meet the goal.
Relevant: Goals should be instrumental to the mission of the department (and ultimately, the institution). Why is the goal important? How will the goal help the department achieve its objectives? Develop goals that relate to the staff member’s key accountabilities or link with departmental goals that align with the institutional agenda.
Time-bound: Goal objectives should identify a definite target date for completion and/or frequencies for specific action steps that are important for achieving the goal. How often should the staff member work on this assignment? By when should this goal be accomplished? Incorporate specific dates, calendar milestones, or timeframes that are relative to the achievement of another result (i.e., dependencies and linkages to other projects).
