DoD Performance Management and Appraisal Program (DPMAP)

The new DOD Performance Appraisal System is about performance and results. Working in an organization where employees know what is expected, where there is a shared vision of what needs to be accomplished, and where employees are provided feedback about performance is a recipe for success.  You are encouraged to help employees take ownership of their performance.  The resources to the right provide you with information on what you as a supervisor should be doing.  Please review the link by clicking the buttons.  

It Starts with You!  

1. Link individual performance with organizational goals  

2. Discuss performance elements, career goals and developmental needs with your employees   

3. Monitor performance 

4. Evaluate contributions and accomplishments

Focusing on performance requires leadership, but you can’t guide your staff to succeed without having a clear understanding about what drives organizational and individual performance. Periodically reviewing your organization’s strategic goals and elements will help you stay focused on what is relevant and important and ensure work activities and individual performance elements are aligned with mission requirements.  Consider: 

1. Your organization’s mission and strategic goals and elements  

2. How your team’s work will achieve these goals   

3. What performance elements each individual can set to support the goals  

4. How you will know when you achieve success
