People managers retain discretion to ap ply fair judgment for determining the ap propriate rating descriptor. The manager will share the descriptor (rather than a number) when confirming the performance rating, for example, “You have met all ex pectations during the performance year.” The updated performance rating descrip tors provide an opportunity to back up and justify performance assessment with concrete examples. They can offer insights for employees to direct and own their per- formance, seek opportunities for growth

and development and get clarity on how to excel in their performance.

Further communication on the changes to performance ratings and the descriptors will continue to occur over coming months. Additional resources and information are available on the People Performance Man agement Inside+ page, including the Tool kit for Managers, and a link to the Learning Ecosystem Performance Micro Series.
