FY2022 performance management cycle to begin July 12

The FY2022 performance management cycle will begin on Monday, July 12, as staff are asked to develop and submit individual work goals in the Cornerstone Talent Management System.

Human Resources continues to develop this new system, including its ongoing work to create job-specific competencies as part of the performance management process.

Employees are advised that the following performance management program adjustments have been made for FY2022:

• Employees will be asked to create a minimum of three performance goals and one developmental  goal.
  
  
• At least one of these goals must be tied to one of the university’s four Strategic Plan Goals.
  
  
• At the end of the FY2022 performance management cycle, employees will receive a rating based on efforts to advance one or more Strategic Plan Goals and work to align the 12 university core competencies with these efforts. Employees not currently familiar with the core competencies will learn more about them as part of Cornerstone system training.
  
  
• Employees’ overall performance ratings will fall under two categories:
  
  
  • Successful – The employee’s performance clearly and fully meets all the requirements of the position in terms of quality and quantity of work. The employee understands the functions of their job and performs the tasks outlined in the job description with accuracy and on a timely basis. The employee acts as a team player, helping their department to meet its goals.
    
    
  • Needs Improvement – The employee’s performance generally meets some but not all job requirements. Demonstrated performance is noticeably less than expected. The need for improvement is clearly recognized. Employees receiving this rating will be ineligible for any annual, performance-based pay increase. 
    
    
• Employees and supervisors are expected to collaborate in creating measurable goals that are driven by university priorities and specifically tailored for each employee and position.

This continuous performance management effort is designed to help make Oakland University the University of Choice for all staff, as well as for faculty, students and the community members that Oakland University serves.
