EPMS Workshop Handouts

EPMS for Supervisors
(Employee Performance Management System)

The Employee Performance Management System (EPMS) is used to evaluate the performance of classified state employees. This workshop will offer supervisors instruction on the use of EPMS as a communication tool to set objectives and evaluate employee performance. Supervisors receive hands-on experience writing performance standards and in administering appropriate discipline procedures. This workshop is a "must" for all supervisors and a prerequisite for all other management development workshops. Participants will learn how to:

• write performance plans for your employees
• clearly define performance objectives
• evaluate employee performance
• seek the support of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• address problem behaviors with employees.

Who Should Attend
All supervisors of classified employees who have not had EPMS training must attend. New supervisors are contacted directly and scheduled individually for this session.
