1. Following Strategic People Management Minute 0001/2014 of 18 February 2014 in respect of the three performance management systems relating to educators and public service staff, we attach the annual calendars for the SPMDS, PMDS and IQMS processes for 2015.
2. These calendars provide a guide to the required procedures and the relevant due dates.
3. Performance management is a system which links organizational strategies and goals to sub-unit goals and then to individual posts, and is aimed at giving direction to and enhancing individual performance, thereby increasing organization and institution effectiveness.
4. Continual performance management assists in:  establishing a culture of performance excellence;  improving awareness and understanding of expectations;  improving communication;  encouraging fair and objective assessment;  providing opportunities for development needs;  proactively managing unsatisfactory performance;  guiding and supporting employees; and  providing a basis for future decisions.
