Performance Management Scheme
Performance Management supports the University’s aim to improve organisational performance and capability. The University Strategy 2007-2011 sets the broad direction for CSU. Each Faculty, Division, School, Centre or Unit translates this strategy into their annual operational plan and identifies how it can contribute to the University Strategy, depending upon the area’s purpose.
The Performance Management Scheme is an ongoing process which aligns and links individual objectives with organisational objectives and clarifies expectations, so that everyone knows what their role is and how they contribute to delivering on the outcomes of their role, their team, and the organisation as a whole. It encompasses regular feedback both formally and informally about performance, as well as identifying and supporting learning and development needed so that staff can achieve their performance objectives.
