“In June 2014 Kupona launched a Performance Management process for a Mid-Year and Year-End review of all employees (at that time only the Executive Director), led by the Organizational Capacity Committee chair. The employee conducted a self-evaluation at Mid-Year and Year-End performance, identifying strengths and development areas and noting progress against duties and responsibilities as identified in the Job Description. The Organizational Capacity Commitee chair reviews the self-evaluation at Mid-Year and Year-End, solicits input from the Board, Advisory Board and CCBRT as needed, provides feedback and discusses performance with the employee, and recommends compensation or bonus adjustments, to be approved or denied by the Board of Directors.”

“Kupona Foundation hired its first non-Executive Director employees in 2014. Compensation for these employees was discussed with and approved by the Board of Directors before offers were made. The performance management process launched in June 2014 with a Mid-Year and Year-End review cycle will be used for all employees.”
