Department of Finance
Performance Management System

The Department of Finance is committed to being a Results Oriented Organization.  As a Results Oriented Organization, it must focus its efforts on:  customer expectations, providing a work environment that enables staff to do what needs to be done, and developing staff in their jobs in a purposeful, ongoing, and structured manner.  Open and objective communications are essential for understanding customer and employee expectations.  To keep this commitment, the Department's performance appraisal system needed to be re-engineered.

In July 2001, a performance management team was established to design a performance management system.  The team represented each of the six functional areas of the department.  The team researched and learned from efforts by other private and public entities, and gleaned the best practices for use in the Department of Finance.  The team has also worked collaboratively with the Department of Human Resources in the design of the system.  The Department of Human Resources will continue to work with Finance as this pilot system is implemented, evaluated, and improved.  Letter from Human Resources Director.

The new Department of Finance's performance management system, "The Compass"
will emphasize the contribution of each employee toward realizing and the vision, mission, values, and goals of the Department.  Everyone is expected to take responsibility for his/her continuous development.
