2009-10 Workforce & Succession Planning Report

In collaboration with the County Manager’s Office, the Human Resources Department has developed a new performance management process that is currently (through March 2011) in the pilot phase involving several departments: Human Resources, County Manager’s Office, and the Executive Management Teams for Probation, First 5, the Library and Community Services Department Heads. The CPMS cycle begins with performance planning and goal setting; followed by coaching and performance monitoring; and lastly, performance review and evaluations. The goal of the CPMS is to maximize employee and organization success by 1) facilitating goal alignment at all levels of the organization (unit, department, organization); 2) ensure that work is focused on top priorities; 3) provide clarity and support that maximize performance and results; and 4) supports employees’ professional and development growth.
