Assessing Performance
This process allows us to reflect upon and comment on what has been accomplished in the prior year. This information should include those contributions and efforts that have contributed to achieving positive results, including handling our day-to-day work. It should also include the issues that presented specific challenges or opportunities for growth and development.

As we think about our accomplishments and challenges, it is equally important to reflect upon how the work was done.  The Performance Assessment Process provides the opportunity to consider how working in a mission informed and core values focused way has assisted in achieving positive results, or may be helpful in supporting the development and growth for the individual in the future.

Mission-based Competencies
Competencies are a set of behaviors that encompass the skills, knowledge, abilities, and personal attributes that are desired and are critical to optimal performance in a specific work environment.  Optimal performance is performance that achieves the desired results or outcomes and is done in a way that aligns with the behaviors that reflect our competencies and support the environment described by our mission and vision.

Our mission based competencies have been identified as essential for mission aligned success and performance at Le Moyne College.  The mission based competencies are provided in the table that follows this section.

As you complete the assessment consider whether or not the contributions you are highlighting have been positively affected through the demonstration of any of these behaviors.  If so, comment on the competency(s) and behaviors(s) that were most helpful. In addition, as you consider opportunities for growth, development and/or challenge consider and comment on how the application of any of these competencies and behaviors may be helpful in supporting your efforts for development or in meeting the identified challenges.

A performance improvement plan (PIP) is a way to give struggling employees the opportunity to succeed while still holding them accountable for past performance. PIPs may be used to address either failures to meet specific job performance-related issues or behavior-related concerns. PIPs may lead to several different outcomes, including improvement in overall performance, the recognition of a skills or training gap, or possible employment actions such as transfer, demotion or termination.​
