Performance Management Program

This Web site provides an overview of the Performance Management Program for senior personnel, including deputy ministers, associate deputy ministers, individuals paid in the GX salary range, Chief Executive Officers of Crown corporations and heads of agencies.

The objectives of the Performance Management Program are:

• to encourage excellent performance by setting clear objectives and rigorously evaluating the achievement of results;

• to recognize and reward strong performance and identify under-performance; and

• to provide a framework within which a consistent and equitable approach to performance management can be applied.
