Developing aWorkplan
I. Several major objectives (usually no more than 8 - 10), stating what the employee is to
accomplish, should be listed on the work plan. The objectives should be clear, concise, measurable
and achievable within the year for which the plan is being written. The objectives may include any
or all of the following:
A. New projects or programs to be undertaken or changes, revisions to be made in existing
programs,
B. Routine tasks which represent a major work output or considerable time (10% of the job or
more), and/or
C. Personal professional development objectives.
II. After establishing the objectives, the supervisor and employee develop and list the standards
which will be used to measure specifically how well that objective is met. These standards or
performance measures may include any one or all of the following:
A. Time Schedules: Deadlines for completion of the objective or the frequency rate.
B. Quantity: How much will be accomplished.
C. Quality: How well the objective will be accomplished.
D. Resources: How much will it cost, as well as major physical resources or cooperation
necessary, for the objective to be accomplished.
III. After setting objectives and standards, the supervisor and employee should set priorities for
each of the objectives. These priorities may be a simple numerical listing in order of importance, or
the priorities may be weighted using a base of 10 or 100.
