One of Finance and Administration’s departmental goals is to create opportunities for all Finance and Administration employees to achieve their highest individual potential. The means by which the department plans to accomplish this goal is through the application of the continuous improvement principle performance management, both departmentally and individually. Performance management embraces the management philosophy of open, honest communication; specific and timely feedback on employee performance; and positive reinforcement, recognition, and celebration of results to sustain high levels of employee accomplishment.

The logical process through which performance management can best be applied is the performance evaluation process. However, in 1994, the leadership of Finance and Administration recognized that the way the department was implementing the state evaluation system was not in alignment with the truly effective practice of performance management. In response to this, a project was initiated to evaluate and enhance the state process. The result was the F&A Performance Management Program, officially implemented in 1998
