Remember when performance plans for employees were all done on paper forms? Now plans can be completed on-line in employee self-service Supervisors and employees still need to meet face to face to discuss the plan. Some supervisors prefer to have an employee create the first draft of his/her plan. Some supervisors prefer to draft the plan themselves. This system accommodates either method.
