Performance Development for Managers

The performance development process originated out of the Section M [214 KB] review conducted in 2005/2006.  Through survey feedback and focus group sessions it was clear from management employees and deputy ministers that the process for performance management at that time was not working.  There was also some strong indicators of what managers wanted to see in a new performance process. 

The performance development process described in the Guidebook (below) builds on the feedback from managers and also on best practices at the time. 

It is linked to the Investing in Public Service - serving Yukon people initiative to public sector excellence and to the government's Corporate Human Resource Plan principles of striving to achieve corporate goals and objectives and providing high quality service to the public. 

The focus of the performance development process is to provide a framework in which supervisors and managerial employees can work together to identify individual development plans that collectively strengthen the capability to deliver quality public services to our citizens. 

 It is designed to increase clarity and understanding of the government goals, departmental plans and employee expectations.  Individual performance development plans which flow out of the performance development process, are directly linked to government, departmental and operational plans. 

The Guidebook will provide you with:

  •  an overview of the performance development process and cycle
  • what it is and what it achieves
  • a description of managerial employee and supervisor roles
  • tips for both, how to set work objectives
  • coaching and feedback
  • glossary of terms
