Performance Management

The SMP program’s performance management system provides a wide range of support and intervention techniques for supervisors to promote productive and satisfying volunteer involvement, and to help volunteers adjust their performance when necessary to meet standards and achieve outcomes. This system includes three main components: supervision, evaluation and corrective action.
