Human Resources - Performance Management Overview

Performance Management Overview

Performance evaluations are one of the most effective tools to communicate expectations, provide feedback, plan work, acknowledge contributions, and help employees gain the skills to be successful. 

The purpose of our Performance Management System is to link every Great Falls College employee’s day-to-day responsibilities and performance strategically to our mission. 

This connection will focus attention on what is genuinely important and hold all stakeholders accountable for their performance in relation to the achievement of the College’s mission.

  Evaluation period:  May 1 – April 30
