Performance Management at City Colleges of Chicago

Performance Management at CCC is an ongoing, year‑round process that helps employees grow, strengthens alignment with our mission, and promotes shared accountability. It goes beyond an annual review and focuses on continuous communication, feedback, and development between employees and managers.

A core part of this process is setting SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time‑Bound—which provide clarity, reduce guesswork, and make progress easy to track. 

CCC’s Performance Competencies—six Core and six Leadership—describe the skills and behaviors needed to achieve results in ways that reflect our values. These competencies guide how work is done, from collaboration and cultural humility to decision‑making and results‑driven leadership. 

By linking SMART goals with these competencies, CCC ensures clear expectations, meaningful development, consistent evaluations, and stronger coaching across the district.
