Study Notes
Performance Management Cycles
- The performance management cycle consists of four quarterly cycles:
- Cycle 1: 1 March – 31 May
- Cycle 2: 1 June – 31 August
- Cycle 3: 1 September – 30 November
- Cycle 4: 1 December – 28/29 February
- If an employee's onboarding program concludes mid-cycle, their objectives will apply from the next cycle.
Quarterly Performance Appraisal Cycle (QPAC)
- The performance appraisal process consists of three steps:
- Step 1: Employee self-assessment, where they score themselves out of 10 for each objective, providing written justification.
- Step 2: One-on-one performance appraisal meeting between the employee and N+1, where N+1 shares their assessment and adjusts the score if necessary.
- Step 3: N+1 compiles a "QPAC Letter" addressing performance and bonus elements, and shares it with N+2 for review.
Employee Responsibilities
- Conduct a performance self-assessment ahead of the performance appraisal meeting.
- Share the self-assessment with N+1 at least 2 days in advance.
- Provide written justification for self-assessed performance.
- Schedule a performance appraisal meeting with N+1 within the first week of the new quarter.
N+1 Responsibilities
- Make themselves available for the performance appraisal meeting within the first week of the new quarter.
- Review the employee's self-assessment before the meeting.
- Provide written justification for any adjustments to the employee's self-assessed score.
- Submit the completed performance appraisal to N+2 before the close of the 2nd week of the new quarter.
Policy Information
- The policy applies to most employees, except for those excluded (registered executive or non-executive Directors, short-term or long-term contractors, recruits still completing onboarding, and employees specifically excluded).
- Participation in the performance management program does not automatically qualify employees for performance bonuses.
