Performance Management System

Each employee plays an important role in making Boise State University the best it can be. The Performance Management Program gives us tools for the ongoing process of workforce planning, employee coaching, feedback, and development.
Note: Boise State University requires that all supervisors who supervise and complete a performance evaluation on any benefit eligible employee complete the Performance Management Training. Those supervisors who supervise students or non-benefit eligible employees do not need to complete this training.

Boise State University's Performance Management Program provides ways to bring out the best in employees and allows Boise State to meet its goals. The focus is on communication - communication about performance. Performance appraisals develop and motivate employees by ensuring their activities are linked to their goals and the mission of Boise State.

The links at left will take you through the performance management process, from a general overview to delivering the actual appraisal.

*The Performance Management Program consists of four parts that complete the full cycle of performance management.

• Setting Performance Expectations
• Keeping Performance on Target
• Realigning Performance
• The Performance Evaluation Meeting

* These are optimal best practices that we encourage supervisors to follow. We recognize every step may not be followed; or in exact sequence, however, communication is key.
