Performance Management

Leadership and employee development are integral to Public Service renewal and to promoting excellence at all levels. In response to managers requesting clarification on specific performance management processes, this website is designed to provide a more practical direction to performance management and to the various TBS guidelines dealing with the challenges of unsatisfactory performance, discipline, medical incapacity, and rejection on probation.

The Performance Management website aims to provide managers with the knowledge and confidence to act appropriately and in accordance with TBS performance management guidelines. It enables managers to identify performance challenges and to address them, with the required support mechanisms, e.g., tools, skill building, coaching, training, human resources/labour relations support, etc.

The Performance Management - Overview, deals with the performance management process in general. It may also be used to guide the manager to the appropriate TBS guideline and step by step process to address his or her particular performance challenge using the links below. Each process is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) for viewing or printing.
