Purpose
Performance management is a process that promotes open conversation and honest feedback between employees and managers. This process is intended to:
- Facilitate clear communication between employees and managers, ensuring understanding of performance expectations and individual contributions to organizational goals.
- Involve employees in setting performance goals and provide ongoing feedback on their progress.
- Identify and implement opportunities for employee development and career growth discussions.
Appalachian State University provides the AppState Careers performance management module as a tool for setting meaningful goals, evaluating employees fairly and consistently across the organization, and developing individual capacity and skill.
