Since the launch of Cornerstone Performance in September 2023, managers and staff across Michigan Medicine have been using the platform to set and track yearly goals for individuals and for teams. 

Beginning on April 1, eligible* staff will be able to use the same convenient, online platform for their annual performance evaluations! Nursing successfully launched their online performance evaluations back in January.

As shown in the 1-year Performance Management Roadmap for FY24, much of the overall process is the same for Michigan Medicine staff compared to previous years. The difference is, with Cornerstone Performance, familiar tasks such as goal setting, mid-year reviews, requesting 360 feedback, and evaluating performance are all enabled by a new online platform to better serve the Michigan Medicine population.   

Goal-setting was an early focus during the first half of the fiscal year. Leaders and staff were encouraged to add their SMART goals for the year to Cornerstone, as these will populate automatically into the annual evaluation, making end of year evaluations much easier and more meaningful. Goals can still be added once the evaluation goes live!

The online process is designed to save time and streamline the performance management process and end-of-year annual evaluations. For more tools to assist with the transition to Cornerstone Performance, visit the Performance Evaluation Resources page, or check out the staff FAQs or Nursing FAQs, which will be maintained and updated throughout the rollout.
