Executive Performance

Update in progress

This section of the website is being updated to reflect organizational changes currently underway. We anticipate these updates will be completed shortly.

The executive performance management program integrates and aligns the following key components into one program:

• Performance evaluation
  Annually the performance of each executive is measured against leadership competencies and annual goals. The performance evaluation process includes a 360-measurement component that solicits feedback from superiors, Board members, subordinates and peers.
• Professional development
  Based on feedback from the 360-measurement tool and other inputs, each executive must identify opportunities for growth and performance improvement.
• Performance goals
  In addition to assessment through the 360, each year executives must set goals included in the following categories:

  • Team goals encompassed in the Quality of Improvement Plan (QIP)
  • Individual goals related to the executive’s portfolio of responsibilities

  These goals are tied to initiatives where measurement of the achievement of the initiatives can be evaluated.

• Executive compensation
  Executive compensation is determined and approved by the Management Resources & Compensation Committee of the Board. Compensation is determined in accordance with the Executive Compensation Strategy. Key elements of the compensation strategy are:
