1. Employee performance evaluation examples
A constructive way of conducting performance appraisals and tracking employee
performance is to conduct interim reviews as part of a continuous employee development
process.
Long term performance starts with an employee development plan and involves properly
setting performance goals as well as timely job feedback.
5 Steps to Better Performance:
Setting and achieving goals involves 5 steps: planning, goal setting, feedback, review,
and evaluation. Interim reviews are critical during this process.
Employee Performance Example
Let's review a performance task that illustrates the importance of feedback and regularly
checking work.
Planning: Identify key responsibilities that will be evaluated
A pilot is required to land the aircraft at a designated airport during limited visibility,
known as instrument
meteorological conditions.
Goal Setting: Clear understanding of the task, conditions, and standard(s).
In this scenario, the pilot cannot see the ground consistently and must rely solely on her
thorough cross-check of aircraft instruments to determine position. After verifying
location, the pilot begins descent to the desired airport at an initial approach point
determined by her location and altitude.
Assuming weather remains as forecast, if the pilot maintains a thorough cross-check of
aircraft instruments that indicate airspeed, altitude, heading, location, and rate of descent,
she will descend to the minimum descent altitude or decision height at a location with the
airport in sight, where she can proceed and land.
Feedback: Regular input shows whether you are on course.
If the pilot performs the approach properly, all aircraft instruments will remain within
tolerance and she will receive "on course, on glide path" indications throughout the
approach.

2. At the beginning of the approach, the aircraft instruments appear less sensitive and any
"on course, on glide path" deviation may appear minor. If they are corrected early, the
pilot can return the aircraft to the correct position easily.
As the pilot gets closer to the airfield, the instruments become increasingly sensitive.
Adjustments that should have been made early on become more difficult to correct.
Typically, the approach is more erratic or results in a failure to break out of the clouds at
a point safe for landing.
Interim Review: Tracking employee performance via semi-formal feedback
Failure to maintain every variable correctly might cause the aircraft to be left or right of
course, above or below glide path, or too fast or too slow. If the pilot gets out of
tolerance, this will prompt a call from the air traffic controller monitoring the radar with
an offer of assistance or other course corrections.
Evaluation: Formal review of success or failure
At the time or location of the decision point, the pilot must see the airport and determine
whether they can proceed for a safe landing. If they cannot see the runway, the approach
failed and becomes a missed approach that requires a go around and a need to try again.
Setting and Achieving Goals
Tracking employee performance, as with any task, it is much easier to take corrective
action early on. This requires that leaders have regular contact with their employees so
that they coach and mentor along the way. This allows for discussion and clarification via
"foot locker" coaching sessions along the way.
Next, if you conduct periodic, semi-formal reviews (quarterly or some other interval),
you allow both parties the opportunity to adjust. For example, if you conduct semi-formal
"pencil" sessions on a quarterly basis, it would provide both a chance to conduct less
threatening rehearsal sessions of the formal review.
Here, both manager and employee have the opportunity for a full exchange of ideas
without the stress of the annual review. During the remaining time available, everyone
can take the necessary corrective action instead of waiting for the formal review at annual
appraisal time.
Quarterly or interim reviews provide a mechanism for tracking employee performance
and making any necessary adjustments before conducting employee performance
evaluations.
