Performance Management Overview

Overview

The success of IANR is a direct result of the daily contributions of every employee. Our performance management process helps employees succeed by ensuring that we consistently set the right goals, align on expectations, and encourage ongoing communication between employees and managers.

IANR Performance Management Process

All Regular employees and their managers meet twice per year to discuss six open-ended questions, focusing on employee accomplishments, goals, and opportunities for growth and development (Temporary and On-Call staff are excluded). Conversations are summarized in the Perform system.
