work, not what work is done Responsibilities, behaviours and capacities required at
each level

• Flexible approach • How you work with the paperwork will
depend on the individual employee• Don’t set too many goals• Don’t expect to be perfect or cover
everything in the first cycle – focus on the priority areas
• Focus is setting goals for future, not providing feedback on past
• Assessment comes later
