Planning with Employees Expectation 1 for all DMS employees: Employees are expected to support the mission “Providing Smarter, Better, Faster Services,” serve with CLASS (Communicate Concerns Immediately, Listen, Learn and Grow Together, Act with Integrity and Honor, Strive for Greatness, Serve with a Servant’s Heart) and reinforce the agency’s fundamental values of fairness, cooperation, respect, commitment, excellence, honesty and teamwork. The standard to be applied for this expectation is that the employee demonstrated these values the vast majority of the time in their interactions with co-workers, supervisors, and customers; in the personal contributions to work assignments and projects; and when representing the agency or the State. Employee must have demonstrated these qualities and values consistently in all areas and without fail in order to exceed expectation.

8. Ways to measure performance Planning with employees Planning and evaluation form Keep a record of “kudos” or “concerns” to be included in the evaluation to help measure customer service, teamwork, employee’s commitment to the mission, etc. Develop specific performance measures related to agency priorities and employee responsibilities. Track progress. (SMART) Gain feedback from employees on what they think should be measured and what they should be held accountable for.
