Performance development

Performance Development is how the BC Public Service supports the relationship between employee and supervisor.

As a supervisor, your role is essential for productive and empowering conversations.

The Accountability Framework for Human Resource Management requires that all supervisors in the BC Public Service: 

• Organize, direct and manage the performance of staff to meet operational requirements; and 
• Provide regular on-going feedback to their employees on their performance and support employees’ career paths

The performance development process prompts employees to have one conversation with their supervisor every four months (three per year) to meet these supervisor accountabilities. 

In addition, performance conversations are a rewarding investment of time. 

• They are foundational to the strength of employee-supervisor relationships. These relationships are integral to attracting, developing and retaining talent 
• They provide clarity to the employee on what is expected of them and insights to the supervisor about what’s important to each employee and what motivates them
