Supporting Staff Performance for Organizational Success
Leaders at the University of Windsor play a key role in fostering employee and organizational success by ensuring their direct reports possess the necessary tools, knowledge, and skills to fulfill their roles, contribute to departmental goals, and ultimately advance the University’s strategic priorities. This also includes proactively addressing and supporting staff through any performance issues that arise.
Supporting Performance Versus Performance Management Process
The University of Windsor currently does not have a formal Performance Management Process for staff. However, this does not negate the leader's responsibility and ability to support and manage performance and address issues proactively.
• Managing performance: This refers to the day-to-day ongoing activities that leaders undertake to guide, support, and help improve the work performed by members of their teams. It involves a continuous process focused on staff development, motivation, and consistent engagement to help staff meet role expectations.
• Performance Management Process: This is a formal, systematic, and cyclical set of procedures and tools used by organizations to plan, monitor, review, and reward employee performance. It is a structured framework with defined stages and documentation, often occurring at specific times of the year. The University of Windsor does not currently have such a process for staff roles.
