Since the launch of the project in September 2023, many members of the Michigan Medicine team have now accessed the updated Cornerstone Performance Management platform to set and track their yearly goals. In January, the evaluation process for Framework and RSAM nurses (excluding APRN nurses) will officially launch, allowing the use of the updated platform and the many upgraded features it affords us. 

This change is not currently applicable to faculty or employees represented by AFSCME, IUOE, or UMST. Temporary staff are not included in this evaluation process.

As shown in the 1-year Performance Management Roadmap, for FY24, much of the overall process will be the same for Michigan Medicine staff. Goal-setting will be the main focus for employees to complete and submit during the first half of the fiscal year. Leaders and staff are 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.

Resources for various features within the platform have been offered and created on a phased basis in order to align with the quarterly goals of the Performance Management Roadmap. A separate process for Framework and RSAM Nurses will be launched in January 2024. As we continue to introduce our workforce to new aspects of the platform, resources are available to help with the transition, including monthly information sessions, drop-in office hours, instructional videos, “The Wrap” podcasts, tip sheets, and other forms of training and support to assist employees through this change. For office hours Zoom links and other support resources, visit the Performance Evaluation Resources webpage.

The online process is designed to save time and streamline the performance management process and end-of-year annual evaluations.
