How is employee performance evaluated for state employees in Tennessee?

Employee performance for state employees in Tennessee is evaluated using the State of Tennessee Performance Management System (PMP). The PMP is a comprehensive system that provides a framework for setting performance goals, assessing performance, and providing feedback and recognition. The system is based on the belief that effective performance management is a key element of successful employee performance. The system includes performance planning, performance feedback, and performance evaluation. The Performance Evaluation is a formal process that includes the supervisor's evaluation of the employee's performance and assigns a rating of "exceeds expectations," "meets expectations," "needs improvement," or "unsatisfactory." The supervisor will also provide written feedback and provide an opportunity for the employee to comment on the evaluation. The evaluation is then reviewed by the Department's Human Resources Office and shared with the employee.
