Staff Annual Performance Review Process
Principles
- All staff working at the college should be given clear expectations at the beginning of the performance year cycle and routine feedback about their performance throughout the year – with written feedback at least once a year.
- Performance expectations should be aligned with the College’s Strategic Plan.
- Changes will be made as we work towards having the performance process managed in Ole Information System.
