The final e-Performance deadline is fast approaching and all staff and managers are reminded to participate in the performance management process. If you have not already done so, it is important that you log into inspira and complete all your e-Performance documents before the 30 June 2015 deadline.
End of cycle discussions enable us to have a meaningful face-to-face dialogue. It is an opportunity for staff and managers to enable professional development and career growth.
As a staff member or manager you should be well-prepared for the discussion and allocate uninterrupted time for the conversation. The conversation is also the basis for the next performance cycle.
As a staff member you should:
- Log into inspira and review your goals.
- Complete your self-evaluation.
- Submit it to your manager in Inspira.
The self-evaluation is your opportunity to highlight work-related achievements and any development activities you have completed.
As a manager you should:
- Review the goals assigned to your staff.
- Make a list of achievements and any areas for development. Feedback should be given in a manner that will best help improve performance. It is most effective when concrete examples are used: it is particularly powerful to reinforce what the employee did right and identify what needs to be done in the future. Feedback works best when it relates to a specific goal.
- Invite your supervisee to a meaningful face-to-face meeting.
- At the meeting recognize the good work done and if needed highlight any areas of development.
- Ask about learning and development aspirations and offer support.
- After the meeting log into Inspira and submit your evaluation to the Second Reporting Officer.
- Ensure that all subsequent sign offs have been completed by the deadline of 30 June.
We encourage managers and supervisors to participate in Performance Management training opportunities. You may register by logging into inspira or contact your training focal point.
All performance should be finalized and signed off in inspira no later than 30 June 2015. Log in and register today!
