Objective and Equitable Performance Management for Classified and Professional Exempt Staff Jennie BruckerDirector of IT HROffice of Information Technology (OIT), CU-BoulderFebruary 2015
Agenda • Impetus for Rethinking Performance Management • Commissioning The Team • Specific ImprovementsImplemented • Lessons Learned • Results Achieved • Q&A
Impetus for Rethinking Performance Management • OIT, Dr. Jeff Luftig and the Service Performance Excellence (SPE) model • “Empowered” Employees Key to SPE’s Success • Initially, only 57%of OIT employees reported feeling “empowered” • 3 factors contributing to lack of empowerment • 3-pronged approach to increasing empowerment
Commissioning The Team • Commissioned by CIO • Multiple units and employee levels represented • Purpose: bring greater objectivity & consistency to the Performance Management process.
Specific Improvements Implemented • Required Job-Specific goals to be “Measurable” • Must articulate specific tasks or targets to achieve in order to reach each of 4 possible performance levels. • Listing job duties from job description NOT sufficient. • If done right, anyone should be able to rate the goal - i.e.the score is should in no way depend on the supervisor’s subjective opinion.
Sample Goal: Customer Satisfaction 90% Customer Satisfaction = target from OIT’s strategic plan
Specific Improvements Implemented • Required weighted goals and created scoring ranges for OEP plans
Specific Improvements Implemented • Handling the Core Competencies (CCs) • CC present the greatest consistency and objectivity challenge • Current solution: Subjective rating by supervisor against detailed measurement factors for 5 classified core competencies for both classified and OEP employees • Solution for next cycle: weighting thresholds for CCs depending on level of objectivity/subjectivity of the measurement factors
Specific Improvements Implemented • Added Mandatory Training & Supervisor Goals • Suggested Weighting for Mandatory Goals and Core Competencies • Performance planning as truly collaborative process
Lessons Learned • Totally objective process is likely unrealistic due to CCs • Developing “measurable goals” is a big culture change • Measure the right things • Quality/Trustworthiness of the data is critical • Avoid too much standardization • Plans are dynamic, not static
Results Achieved • OIT hit its goal of 90% employee empowerment as of the Fall 2014 empowerment survey.
