2.c: Linkages

Link organizational performance objectives to employee performance management and appraisal mechanisms.

Stakeholder(s):

  • Performance Management Integration BoardThe Performance Management Integration Board (chaired by the PIO and CHCO) would focus on the importance of linking organizational performance objectives to employee performance management and appraisal mechanisms consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA). In lieu of establishing a new and separate "board," agencies may also ensure that existing PIO and CHCO leadership continuously communicate with each other in order to move their Department or agency forward from merely the alignment of performance goals to the implementation of accountability for performance results.

  • AgenciesAgencies should ensure that the perspectives of employee representatives are incorporated into this alignment mechanism, which may include using existing labor management forums. The views of management associations should inform this process as well to ensure that front-line managers understand and buy into the alignment process. The labor and management representatives can have the most significant impact in fostering a high performance culture and employee engagement.
