expected from an employee in terms
of job roles and responsibilities

Q: What is Performance Management?
Feedback and Development
Focus of the conversations
between managers and

Performance management is not just a once-a-year conversation. It
impacts staff over their entire career at Penn State.

shortcomings, and needs
 Act on feedback received
Supervisor

Shared (Staff Member and Supervisor)

on-one basis)
 Assume best intentions
Institution
 Create a consistent language for getting and giving feedback
 Establish a “No Fear” culture where staff can feel comfortable sharing and receiving frank
feedback

Roles in Giving and Receiving Effective Feedback

Feedback has a direct impact on our work:
 Gives us specific information to help us improve
 Makes performance expectations clear from the start
 Heightens efficiency by reducing resentment, buildup, etc.
 Strengthens relationships
What are the benefits for getting positive feedback? Constructive
feedback?
Why Do We Give and Receive Feedback?

You
Feedback Reflection
Write the initials of the people that you work with in shapes
provided. They can include peers, your manager,
customers/clients, etc. Then for each person, answer the
questions:
• “Are you comfortable receiving direct, constructive
feedback from them?” If so, draw a solid arrow from
their shape to you. If not, draw a dashed arrow.
• “Are you comfortable providing them with direct,
constructive feedback?” If so, draw a solid arrow
from you to their shape. If not, draw a dashed arrow.
• What does your diagram tell you?

Feedback is an essential component of a learning and performance culture!
The framework assists in preparing to deliver feedback effectively.
Feedback is….
 Most beneficial if on-going (which ensures no surprises)
 Intended to support employee performance and development
 Helpful and applies to both positive and constructive situations
Feedback Framework
9
How to Improve the Quality of Feedback Conversations
 Are in the past
 Are actions you
completed
 Are exactly what
others saw, heard,
etc.
 Are not assessments
 Are explicit or
implicit
 Change over time
 Build on our
personal and
professional
histories
 Are the foundation
for effective
feedback
 Are “desired”
and “undesired”
 Are known or
possible
 Often initiate
action
 Affect your work
and interaction
with others
 Are unavoidable
 Are not facts
 Are not observations
 Often create
resistance
 Can produce a sense
of urgency
 Should be “owned”
by the giver
CONSEQUENCES/
OUTCOME
Known or possible
effects of continued
behavior
ASSESSMENTS
Personal interpretations
or evaluations of a set of
observations
OBSERVATIONS
Neutral facts
or occurrences
(behaviors and
outcomes)
EXPECTATIONS
Desired behaviors and
outcomes

Positive Performance Feedback Example
“Jason, you are expected to make a 15-minute presentation to
students every Friday about the services our office provides.”
EXAMPLE OF COMMENTARY
“I’ve noticed that you are always well prepared, and
consistently arrive several minutes early to greet students and
make them feel welcome.”
“This is excellent and demonstrates a commitment to your job,
representing our office positively, and serving our customers.”
“I’d like to use this as a model for how we conduct all of our
presentations.”

Constructive Performance Feedback Example
“As a member of the Project Team, one of your expectations
is to participate actively in team meetings.”
EXAMPLE OF COMMENTARY
“During the last half dozen meetings, you barely said anything,
although you are clearly listening and taking notes during the
discussions.”
“This doesn’t meet the expectations for your role. You should be
contributing your thoughts and providing insights into how our
recommendations will affect your department.”
“It is important that you be more participative. If this doesn’t
improve fairly quickly, we will have to reconsider your role on the
project team.”

Potential Development Plan:
It is important that you take an active, meaningful role in these meetings. Let’s start with some deliberate steps you can take to
become more comfortable participating in the meetings.
Before each meeting, review the agenda and prepare at least three talking points that you would like to discuss. These can be
questions, comments, or additional information that will be helpful to the Project Team. During the meeting, present each of
these talking points and use them to generate discussion.

Guidelines for Giving Feedback Successfully
 Act sooner rather than later
 Check your intentions
 Dialogue! Treat feedback as a shared responsibility
 Confirm mutual understanding and invite new information; probe for facts
 Keep your emotions in check
 Respect differences
13
 Ask for feedback on an ongoing basis
 Do not reject feedback. Assume best intentions.
 Listen for understanding. Clarify what the feedback means.
 Respond to feedback. Share your own views. Jointly agree on
ways to improve.
 Thank the person for giving the feedback. Show appreciation.
Tips for Receiving Feedback Successfully
14
 How often do you ask for feedback?
 Do you ever get defensive?
 Do you ask for more detail?
 Are conversations thorough?
 Do you ensure that expectations are clear?
 Do you set goals for improvement?
 Do you follow up to get additional feedback on
progress?
Receiving Feedback Checklist
15
 Surprise –in the extreme, Shock
 Annoyance – in the extreme, Anger
 Rationalization – in the extreme, Rejection
 Acceptance – acceptance does not equal agreement
Adapted from The Feedback Toolkit, Rick Maurer (1994)
Receiving Feedback: The SARA Model
16
 The mid-year check in is important as it:
– Allows supervisors to more easily monitor employee performance
and progress
– Gives the employee the opportunity to understand how he/she is
performing and discuss expectations
Next Steps: Conduct Mid-Year Check-In
17
 Schedule an appointment with your supervisor
 Discuss overall performance and review goals; if necessary, adjustments
can be made to goals at this point. No formal evaluation or ratings are
needed for this conversation
 Document that the conversation happened and what was discussed.
Adjust goals in the YOU@PSU system if necessary and then your
supervisor will approve these adjustments
