Performance Management
George Washington University's performance management (PM) process provides a framework that creates a high performing organization and supports professional development. The process is also important because decisions about salary increases are based on performance reviews.
Ongoing coaching, feedback, and recognition are at the center of the process and create a culture of continuous improvement. All employees should schedule at least one performance checkpoint discussion with their manager halfway through the performance period. These discussions ensure that the process is interactive and that there are no surprises at the end of the year.
