Performance Management

FY23 Performance Management

Performance management provides staff and managers dedicated time to reflect on progress, clarify expectations, and discuss priorities and potential career paths. Performance management is intended to foster staff member’s individual success, to engage managers in the development of their staff, and to support the priorities and goals of each HLC school.

Performance management is comprised of two basic parts:

  • Continuous coaching conversations throughout the year
  • Tracking highlights from ongoing conversations, setting priorities and goals, and summarizing themes at the end of the academic year

Performance Management in PeopleSoft

The performance management process, including goal setting and annual reviews, will be documented in PeopleSoft. To access performance management materials in PeopleSoft:

Click on the different tabs–Instructions, Goals, Mid-Year, Annual, Competencies, and Feedback–to familiarize yourself with the available options. Enter your FY23 goals into the  Goals tab.
  • Manager access: From the PeopleSoft dashboard, click on the Team Performance tile, and then on the staff member’s name with a begin date of  7/1/22.
  • Annual reviews are set up for staff hired before December 1 for HSPH and January 1 for HMS and HSDM. Employees hired January-June will have an orientation review at the 90-day mark. Contact your HR office if you do not see a review you think should be in the system.
  • Harvard Chan School, Harvard Medical School, and Harvard School of Dental Medicine:  Will use the “Ratings” option for the FY23 performance conversations so please be sure to select that option in the picklist.
