Annual performance reviews are a key component of employee development. The performance review is intended to be a fair and balanced assessment of an employee’s performance.
PPSM 23: Performance Management states that the Performance Appraisal is an opportunity for the supervisor and employee to:
- Review whether previously discussed performance expectations and goals have been met
- Discuss professional development opportunities
- Identify options for acquisition of additional skills and knowledge to foster career growth

The performance appraisal is intended as a means of measuring and enhancing individual, team and institutional performance; fostering professional development and career growth; aiding in the determination of merit increases; and meeting the internal and external demands for documentation of individual performance.
