 (b) engaging constructively with their supervisor to clarify work expectations and what is required to perform effectively;

 (c) participating constructively in the performance management processes (including career conversations) of the Department in which the employee is employed;

 (d) being open to receiving feedback and acting on feedback in a timely manner;

 (e) seeking opportunities to improve individual and team performance;

 (f) if informed that the employee’s performance is unsatisfactory, engaging constructively by:
