Employee Performance Elevated

Utah is implementing a strategically aligned individual performance management system (UPM- Utah Performance Management) that will integrate individual performance into the business process. When Employee Performance is integrated and aligned with core business values, the organization is able to more effectively execute its strategic initiatives. Employees who recognize the value of their contribution to the success of the organization become powerful and innovative change agents who are committed to the success of the organization.

Employee Performance Integration

The Utah Department of Human Resource Management believes that communicating organizational strategies clearly and effectively to the entire organization creates a line-of-sight that allows an employee to identify individual goals aligned with the organization’s strategies. Strategic alignment of organizational and individual goals is key to improving both agency and employee performance. Managing employee performance through an effective appraisal process and guiding their career development is also very critical in improving employee performance and increasing retention rates.

As agencies incorporate strategic performance management into their organization, the return on human capital investment increases exponentially. A strategic focus on performance management will allow agencies to identify top performers, create career paths for employees, and link each individual to the desired outcomes of the organization.
