The Vision
Government and its civil service system should support City departments to build and foster a culture of performance and accountability and empower managers with the authority to assess, reward and professionally develop their employees.
To reach for this vision, City officials must commit to an action plan to cause the achievement of each of the following policy goals:
A strategy for assessing and auditing workplace performance by department and unit and improving the effectiveness of performance reviews.
Simplification and streamlining of the civil service system, consistent with existing recommendations within the Civil Service Commission’s Great Place to Work Initiative.
Formation of new supervisor and department head training, to give them tools to help facilitate the professional growth of their employees and properly leverage the probationary period.
Publication of core city workforce performance data so residents and third parties can evaluate productivity and efficiency.
