II.     PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

1.      With a view to maintaining and further enhancing the standard and
        quality of performance of all staff colleagues in fulfillment of
        the education mission of the University, the Staff Affairs
        Committee of the University approved to implement a Performance
        Management Process for all staff with effect from the 1999/2000
        academic year.

2.      For academic staff, the process will involve the setting of
        performance expectations at the Faculty/School/Departmental level,
        the documentation of performance evidences in the form of an
        Annual Activity Report, the conduct of an Annual Consultative
        Meeting, and Formal Feedback on performance once every three
        years by a Faculty/School Panel.

3.      For the non-teaching staff, the process will involve the key
        steps of Performance Planning, Performance Management and
        Performance Appraisal within a Performance Management Cycle.  

        For a concise guide on implementing the Process, please refer to
        the Manual on Non-teaching Staff Performance Management. Staff
        members may also visit the Personnel Office website
        (http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~pers) to gain access to information
        contained in the Manual, and to download the relevant forms. 

4.      As the Process is relatively new, comments and suggestions
        for improvement are most welcome and they can be addressed to
        the Personnel Office e-mail account (pers@hkbu.edu.hk). The
        Process will be reviewed in a year’s time after its operation,
        and thereafter on a regular basis for appropriate modification
        and updates.
