PERforM Training Resources for Agencies

The Division of Personnel offers a comprehensive training program for the new PERforM appraisal process to provide raters and reviewers with information about the purpose, objectives and phases of the PERforM System and the employee performance cycle (performance planning, observation and documentation and appraisal). 

The training program helps raters and reviewers guide, develop and evaluate employees by:

• Exploring how the appraisal process and the PERforM system can be used to develop employees and achieve organizational results.
• Reviewing each phase of the employee performance cycle to determine how the PERforM system and other related techniques and strategies can improve individual effectiveness as a “rater” and/or “reviewer.”
• Providing strategies to develop, communicate and evaluate key performance objectives for employees.

The following resources are available: 

• PERforM Learning Guide (for training participants) (pdf)
• An online version of the PERforM Learning Guide (presented as a PowerPoint slide show)
• A companion Trainer’s Guide for individuals in state agencies designated as trainers of the PERforM system is available through the Division of Personnel.
• Materials can be customized by the agency to fit their specific training and/or educational needs as demonstrated in the following example:
• PERforM: A Guide for Supervisors and Managers (pdf)

PERforM Training Environment

A training environment is also available to assist agencies in training new supervisors on the use of PERforM.  The training environment (primarily designed to be used by agency trainers during PERforM training sessions) consists of manufactured data for a typical rater/reviewer scenario (i.e., someone who is both a rater and who also approves/disapproves appraisals). Information about the training environment is available at the following link:
