Introduction<\/h3>\n

Performance Appraisal is used to facilitate communication between employees and their supervisors, and to clarify job expectations. Moreover, performance appraisal serves to align individual employee\u2019s contributions to the College\u2019s planning and assessment activities.<\/p>\n

The College is committed to recognizing and rewarding job performance within the context of the College\u2019s Mission and Strategic Plan through a consistent, fair and understandable appraisal process.<\/p>\n

Performance appraisal and performance management are an ongoing process of communication, feedback, evaluation and review, not a one-time effort. The process provides an opportunity to: (a) develop a clear definition of the job for both the supervisor and the employee; (b) establish employee outcomes and assess progress toward achievement targets, as well as personal and professional development; (c) encourage dialogue between the supervisor and employee; (d) provide a means of identifying and addressing of job-related performance issues; (e) foster morale, and (f) provide a fair basis for acknowledging employee performance.<\/p>\n

Performance appraisals benefit all concerned \u2013 the employee, the supervisor and Ramapo College. The performance appraisal process provides a useful framework to foster communication between the supervisor and the employee. Improved communication regarding expectations and job performance enhances employee productivity, personal satisfaction, rewarding relationships, and effective problem solving.<\/p>\n
