Employee Performance Management
Mission
The Employee Performance Management Process (EPMP) is a recurring, yearly process of goal setting and performance appraisal for Central Office employees to ensure that 1) the district's goals are effectively translated into achievable goals and performance expectations at the district, department, team and individual levels, 2) employees at all levels are held accountable for their achievement, recognized for their contributions and supported in their career development, 3) the district maintains a process for continuous improvement and a focus on service, and 4) DPS remains a compelling place for employees to work, learn and grow.
Vision
To foster common expectations for performance across Central Office functions in DPS, to achieve consistency in how employees are supported, evaluated, and rewarded across departments, and to align team and individual work efforts with DPS's goals of leading the nation's cities in student achievement, high school graduation, college preparation, and college matriculation.
Objectives
The objectives of the Employee Performance Management Process are to:
- Align employees with DPS objectives, focusing them on those things most directly linked to student achievement and growth
- Build accountability for results
- Empower employees to perform by ensuring clear goals and expectations
