1. Sample of employee appraisal
An employee evaluation is all about letting your employee know what it is that they are
and are not doing well. If you are not conducting some sort of performance appraisal at
least once a quarter then you are not only doing your employees a large disservice you
are also neglecting your business as well. Because if an employee doesn't know what they
are doing wrong or that they could still use some improvement in an area how will they
get better? And if they are not working to improve their job performance isn't that
detrimental to your business? Your employees are not mind readers. They need your
input.
So what are you looking to accomplish in a formal employee evaluation? First off you
want to facilitate better communication. Your employee needs to know that you are
approachable. They need to understand that their evaluation is for their benefit. You want
them to see that you are not trying to be critical but that you are trying to point out areas
or their work that can be improved. With communication should come understanding
between yourself as the employer and your employees.
Once you have established good communication then a it is necessary to give a thorough
review of their job performance. Remember you are not trying to hurt them and damage
their morale. You need to be pointing out the good as well as the bad in their
performance. In this area you need to identify where they could use more training and
determine ways that it might be provided. Also remember that this is two way
communication. They need to know that they can speak up. You want them to be willing
to identify areas where they think they are weak or where they would like to learn more
but haven't been able too.
As much as possible you will want to document the key points of your discussion so that
you can refer to them during the next evaluation. This will allow you to clearly see where
they have improved and in what areas they are still behind. Also keep in mind that your
performance appraisal should be used as a guide to future promotion and raises for the
employee. Most people would want to know if they have a chance for a future with your
organization. If you run your business with an eye towards promoting from within then
this is important to both of you. If your business is growing then you will need to
determine who your key employees in that growth may be.
Consider the question that if you have worked for someone else at some time did you
want to know how well you were performing in your job? Especially if you had been
thinking of what your long term future with the business might be. Holding employee
evaluation sessions is a key to the long term growth of your business. So even though you
may consider it a task you do not care for it still needs to be done. For the good of both
your employees and your business.
