Performance Management Confirmation (PMC) is a rigorous certification process that verifies elements of a robust performance management system, including an employer's ability to:

• Cascade organizational goals into individual performance plans.
• Effectively evaluate employee performance, including distinguishing between different performance levels.
• Maintain employee confidence in management's ability to manage performance.
• Fairly, effectively, and transparently administer a performance incentive program.

The PMC program is designed for state employers seeking approval to use performance incentives. However, the program may also be used as a self-evaluation tool for reviewing an organization's culture and performance management system.

 

To learn more about the PMC process and requirements, please read the Overview (PDF file) and Sample Timeline (PDF file). For more detail, review the application guides, evaluation materials, and post-confirmation monitoring requirements.
