The profiles for the three main roles and their competencies are considered throughout the employee performance management process. The employee performance management process generally includes the following three stages, undertaken over a 12 month cycle:

1. Performance Planning: Where objectives are jointly developed with individual employees
2. Review: Where the manager monitors performance, provides ongoing feedback to ensure that the individual is on track and plans are adjusted as required
3. Performance Evaluation: Where the individual is assessed relative to their objectives and expected competencies

During the first stage of the employee performance management cycle, Performance Planning, managers and employees meet to:

• Identify and discuss performance objectives and/or competencies for the current employee performance management cycle
• Develop a learning plan that will address developmental objectives to meet both performance objectives and competencies objectives

The planning stage offers an opportunity for a manager and employee to:

• Set performance objectives that are aligned with organizational goals and based on individual action plans
• Identify personal learning and development objectives, plans and activities
• Foster ongoing and open communication concerning employee expectations and needs
