Effective with the 2021 Performance and Development Agreements (PDA), Newport News Shipbuilding is implementing an enhancement to the current performance management process in MyHR called Continuous Performance Management (CPM) on Jan. 1. This tool will not replace or change the current performance agreement form.

CPM is an easy-to-use computer and mobile-friendly tool that provides many benefits. It will promote ongoing electronic communication between managers and employees, and it will allow date-stamped activities to be linked to performance goals. Features will help ease the mid-year and year-end performance management processes. The three main components of using CPM are activities, achievements and feedback.

Managers and employees are not required to use CPM; however, it is strongly encouraged.

To learn more about CPM, Human Resources and Administration is hosting 30-minute lunch and learn training sessions via WebEx. No charge will be provided. All salaried NNS employees are invited to sign up for a session at noon on the dates listed below. Shipbuilders who are unable to attend a training session can review CPM user guides and videos on the performance management webpage.
