officials perform throughout the year. It is as important as managing financial resources and
program outcomes because employee performance or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on
both the financial and program components of any organization. The Department of the Interior’s
performance management policy is designed to document the expectations of individual and
organizational performance, provide a meaningful process by which employees can be rewarded
for noteworthy contributions to the organization, and provide a mechanism to improve individual/
organizational performance as necessary.
To accomplish these objectives, managers need to identify organizational goals to be accomplished,
communicate individual and organizational goals to employees that support the overall strategic
mission and Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals of the Department, monitor
and evaluate employee performance, and use performance as a basis for appropriate personnel
actions, including rewarding noteworthy performance and taking action to improve less than successful
performance.
The Office of Personnel Management defines performance management as the systematic process of:
planning work and setting expectations
continually monitoring performance
developing the capacity to perform
periodically rating performance in a summary fashion; and
rewarding good performance
