SUBJECT: Announcement of the "Guide to Performance Management"
The UCSD Human Resources Department is pleased to provide you with an important new resource, the "Guide to Performance Management." It was developed by the Human Resources Department to serve as a training manual, a reference tool, and a supplement to the "Performance 
     Management" course offered by Staff Education and Development. The printed version is being distributed to designated supervisors and managers campuswide, and an electronic copy of the "Guide" is available to all employees on the World Wide Web. You may access the "Guide" via InfoPath under Human Resources Online Services or directly using the URL http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/online/staffedu/guide/.
Effective performance management creates a climate of collaboration and trust upon which so much of the success of the Human Resource Management Initiatives will depend. Performance management involves describing the job, developing standards of work performance, observing performance and giving feedback to employees, conducting formal performance evaluations, and working with employees to identify opportunities for professional development. Every employee who is responsible for directing the work of others or managing the performance of teams should be aware of and have access to this essential resource.
Address your comments and questions to Staff Education and Development, 534-4890, or staffeducation@hris1.ucsd.edu.
