Achieve Together 2.0: It’s About the Conversation
Achieve Together launched in 2020, enabling our campus to rethink the way we measure performance. The new program brought together the thoughts and voices of over 1,000 Berkeley staff and leaders, designed during two years of in-depth collaboration, to focus on coaching conversations between managers and team members.
Campus evaluated the program in 2023, reviewing over three years of feedback, suggestions and learnings. In partnership with the Achieve Together Network, the Reducing the Bureaucratic Burden at Berkeley Taskforce, Berkeley’s EVCP Office, and Berkeley People & Culture, we enhanced the program with six essential modifications. These built upon the best aspects of Achieve Together, enabling managers to spend less time on the process in order to focus on relationship-building and the developmental performance evaluation conversations themselves. The new simplifications are intended to further strengthen the goal of Achieve Together, making sure that when it comes to performance evaluation and development at UC Berkeley, “It’s About the Conversation” between managers and team members.
Look for these six modifications in Achieve Together 2.0:
-
Timing Clarification
-
Reframing: Note Taking vs. Documentation / Transcription
-
A New Single Form, used for the Full Year of Conversations
-
Form Updates: Eliminating the Goals Comments Box
-
Notes Optional Fall Check-In
