I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's that time of year again. Have you got your performance evaluations finished yet?
Oh no! Evaluations! You can tell that's not my favorite job ; I haven't even started yet. When is the deadline for turning in thecompleted forms?
Well, you do still have three weeks. But remember the employee must sign them, too. Filling them in is nothing - it's meetingwith the employees that takes so much time.
I never know how to rate the employees'work. Of course attendance and productivity are easy, I just look at the sales figures.
So it's the subjective criteria like team building and colleague support that you find hard?
Exactly! Attitude. . . how do you rate attitude?
I suggest letting each employee fill out his or her own evaluation for those items. Then, based on their self - assessment, you can add your comments. It's a great starting point for discussion
Great idea. And after all, that's the whole point of an evaluation. I almost can't wait to give it a try.
