Consistent with ASU’s focus on innovating across all levels of the university, Educational Outreach and Student Services is pleased to leverage EDGE Conversations as our annual staff evaluation process. The program is an employee-driven performance management practice centered around frequent, future-focused conversations.
EDGE Conversations focus on four key elements that drive the continuous performance management process: Engagement – Development – Growth – Empowerment. This new approach prioritizes employee development, continuous two-way discussion and career growth. As one of the largest units at ASU, EOSS is proud to adopt this future-focused performance model.
The purpose of the program as it is implemented within EOSS is to encourage and facilitate staff to take an active role in their career development. Through focusing on these four areas through training and conversations these could lead to increased performance and career fulfillment.
Managers listen to an employee’s perspective on how things are going and provide feedback.
In concert with their managers, employees drive their development plan.
Manager and employee discuss opportunities for career growth.
The manager and employee both agree on objectives or goals for the quarter and beyond.
As an organization, Educational Outreach and Student Services will benefit from an approach that promotes talent development, leadership depth and organizational stability. EDGE Conversations will form the foundation for building relationships and creating a workplace culture that supports creativity, innovation, flexibility and inclusion.
The first EDGE Conversations within EOSS should occur in July 2021.
