Test Scenario / Manager’s Manager
A staff member will be issued a performance workplan at the start of the performanceyear. The performance workplan will contain organisational objectives, issues by RMIT, but all other objectives should be completed by the staff member, with agreement from the manager. Once these objectives have been agreed with the manager, staff members will need to monitor their progress throughout the year, with a formal Mid Year and year End Review with the manager.
There are 3 phases to in the Performance cycle:
-Objective setting
-Mid year Review
-Year End Review
Each phase contains 3 steps:
-Staff member self evaluation
-Manager review and comments/edits, after which it can be returned to the staff member for edits or confirmation (this can occur multiple times)
-Staff Member edits
-Staff member confirmation, after which the Performance profile moves into the next phase
At any stage, a manager’s manager will have “display access” to their direct team, as well as the direct reports of their reports (up to a maximum of three levels).
