The document discusses training programs in optical companies. It finds that most large optical companies have no formal training approach and those that do were still suboptimal. Training is often ad hoc, inconsistent, lacks standardization and key content. Trainers pass on knowledge in inconsistent, biased ways. There is little assessment of learning. Compared to time spent on product costs, far less time is spent on training. A new training solution, LearnEyeCare, was developed with standardized content across various devices. Its beta testing showed high satisfaction ratings and tangible improvements in optician retention, remakes, and recruiting. It provides a comprehensive curriculum on optical technical skills and customer service.

Assignment 2 New Supervisor Training on Performance Evaluations.docxbraycarissa250
Assignment 2: New Supervisor Training on Performance Evaluations
Due in Week 6 and worth 300 points
Now that the position has been created, you’ve taken the opportunity to create a PowerPoint presentation to train new supervisors on how to conduct performance evaluations.
Whether you use an annual evaluation, real-time feedback, or quarterly evaluations, it is important that new supervisors understand:
· the rationale for a performance evaluation in general,
· the rationale for the specific one in use,
· the instrument used, and
· the process for the evaluation.
The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides with graphics and Notes Pages.
NOTE: One of the positions the new supervisors will be conducting performance evaluations on is the job in your description from Week 3. Find creative ways to incorporate your work from that assignment into this one.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· You must include the Notes Pages. This is where you explain in detail the thoughts you want to convey in each slide, only in more depth.
· Visually appealing: graphics (required) should be appropriate for the environment and audience. Text should be visible from 18 feet away (generally considered 18 pt. font or larger).

BOOST EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE WITH MICROLEARNING AND MANAGER TRAININGHuman Capital Media
Congratulations! You’ve developed the greatest training program ever. The content is ideally suited to your business problems, the technology works, and the employees seem to like it. There’s only one problem… nobody knows what to do with it when they return to their jobs.
If that’s not a nightmare scenario for a training professional, we don’t know what is!
Ultimately, we need our employees to learn, retain, and then apply what they learn to improve their knowledge and skills and reach higher levels of performance. That’s the goal. But how many times do we fail to see the ROI we expect? How many times do we see well-executed content NOT applied on the job? How many times do we have to go back to the CFO and explain why the ROI we expected never materialized.
Kristi McNabb, Revenue Operations Manager at BizLibrary, will help you discover how and when employees apply learning to improve their job performance, explain the role managers play in helping employees retain training and drive ROI, and help you understand how microlearning can be a great tool to help employees in their moment of need.
During this webinar, Kristi will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
How to help employees apply their learning and improve job performance
A manager’s role in employee retention and training ROI
How microlearning is a great tool for helping employees acquire skills just when they need them
... and much more!
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
INTRODUCTION
A continual and troublesome question facing nurse managers today is why some employees perform better than others. Making decisions about who performs what tasks in a particular manner without first considering individual behaviour can lead to irreversible long term problems. Each employee is different in many respects. A manager needs to ask how such differences influence the behaviour and performance of the job requirements. Ideally, the manager performs this assessment when the new employee is hired. In reality, however, many employees are placed in positions without the managers having adequate knowledge of their abilities and / or interests. This often results in problems with employee performance, as well as conflict between employees and managers.
MEANING
• Performance appraisal means the systematic evaluation of the performance of an expert or his immediate superior.
• Performance appraisal is a method of evaluating the behaviour of employees in the work spot, normally including both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance.
• Performance here refers to the degree of accomplishment of the tasks that make up an individual's job. It indicates how well an individual is fulfilling the job demands. Often the term is confused with effort, but performance is always measured in terms of results and not efforts.
• The performance appraisal process includes day-to-day manager-employee interactions (coaching, counselling, dealing with policy/procedure violations, and disciplining); written documentation (making notes about an employee's behaviour, completing the performance appraisal form); the formal appraisal interview; and follow-up sessions that may involve coaching and/or discipline when needed.
DEFINITION
According to Edwin b flippo, ―Performance appraisal is a systematic, periodic and so far as humanly possible, an impartial rating of an employee’s excellence in matters excellence in matters pertaining to his present job and to his potentialities for a better job.
The performance of an employee is compared with the job standards. The job standards are already fixed by the management for an effective appraisal.
According to scott, clothier and spriegal, ―performance appraisal is a record of progress for apprentices and regular employees, as a guide in making promotions, transfer or demotions, as a guide in making lists for bonus distribution, for seniority consideration and for rates of pay, as an instrument for discovering hidden genius, and as a source of information that makes conferences with employees helpful‖.
OBJECTIVES OF APPRAISAL
1. To determine the effectiveness of employees on their present jobs so as to decide their benefits.
2. To identify the shortcomings of employees so as to overcome them through systematic guidance and training.
3. To find out their potential for promotion and advancement.
PURPOSES AND BENEFITS
Performance appraisal can serve many purposes a
2. • Training and retaining
staff is without a doubt
one of the central
issues in our industry
today
3. Many eye care practices,
from multi-office to single
location offices, do not
have good training
programs that they can
deploy to new or existing
staff
5. When we surveyed 25 of
the Top 50 largest
Optical Companies, we
found some consistent
trends:
• 90% had no Formal
approach to training and
when they did their
approach was Ad Hoc.
• Of the 10% that did have
a formal approach all
indicated they had
Suboptimal Training
6. They also told us:
• Very little consistent
content delivered across
the organization
• Comprised of bits and
pieces from an array of
sources
• Key areas missing in their
materials
• Content not standardized
• Content is ‘Vendor-ized”
7. • Tribal Method – Passed on
from “elders” to new staff
• Inconsistent and subject to
trainer’s biases
• “I like to do (it) this way..”
• “This AR is the best”
• “this progressive is the
best”
• “we don’t do that in this
office”
• “That’s not important..”
8. • Trainers / Mentors
• Limited time for all who need
training
• Secondary or Part-Time Role
• Most staff are left to their
own devices to figure out
what they needed to know.
• Bottle neck - Limited time
and access to employees
in need.
9. • Little, if any, method for
assessing and tracking
content absorption.
• Spotty: “We have some
manual tracking on
some training from some
vendors”.
• Use their “gut”.
• “Nothing…no real way
to do that.”
• No objective way to
monitor content
expertise.
10. • How important is
training to your
organization’s
success?
– “We know it’s important but
we haven’t done a good
job”.
– “Hard to find good trainer”.
– “I know it’s costing us
money and we should do a
better job training”.
– “We are no worse than our
competitors.. But it is an
opportunity..”.
11. As compared to the time you
spend on buying products at a
better price - how much time
does your organization spend
on training staff?
Not one company spent the same
amount of time on training as on
product costs.
– “Way less time”
– “Hard to compare, but far less”
– “We need to do a better job on
both fronts”
– “About 50% of the time we
spend on training vs product
cost”
13. Challenges
More competition
– It’s easier for patients to go to
someone else today.
Managed Care
– More Work / Make Less
Employee Retention
– Average Job Tenure of a millennial
is 18 months
– Average cost to replace an
employee is $5000 to 150% of the
salary of the person you are
replacing
Impact of Social Reviews
14. There’s just a lot more
to know and learn today
versus
10 – 20 years ago!
17. 1. Standardized content
and delivery process
• Same content is delivered
across the organization in
the same effective &
consistent manner
18. 2. Easily distributed and
accessible:
• Available on demand– 24/7
• Eliminate bottle-neck: Staff
at various stages in the
training process can be
trained simultaneously
• Available on-line
• Allows staff to work at their
own individual pace
19. 3. Easy to monitor how
staff is progressing:
• Ability to monitor individual
progress or lack of
progress.
• Easy to track the time staff
has committed to training.
• Able to measure new hires
aptitude for learning the
material.
20. 4. Make it Vendor
Agnostic
• Keep the content free from
vendor sponsorships and
brand neutral
21. 5. Make a positive impact on
the organization:
• Improve patient service:
increase sales and patient
retention
• Improve confidence of Staff
• Reduce our costs: i.e.
remakes, redo’s and other
errors can be controlled
through better training
• Improve staff retention:
Retaining those staff
members that “we want to
keep”
• Compensation and
performance evaluation
23. Development Process
– Established a committee of ECP owners & Trainers and developed list of the
skills needed to be a competent Optician/Staff member
– Identified an LMS system to that has the following features:
• Accessible 24 /7 via the internet
• Scale and play on multiple applications: Desk Top, Lap Top, IPAD, Mobile
device
• Management reporting capabilities: e.g. time spent on Units, Page
views, test score results, drill down on test Q answers
• Secure log-in protection
– Set up 8 multi-office practices as BETA testing partners
– Spent 2 years in BETA while developing the 38 units to support our objectives
24. BETA Process:
• Vetted over a 18 to 24
month period program
using 8 practices that are
multi-site operators.
• Surveyed users as well as
& management to measure
content validity, reliability,
usefulness and results.
• Adjusted content and
approach to improve
engagement, usefulness
and financial results.
25. BETA results:
All Beta users renewed subscriptions (on a
paid basis) for successive years
We surveyed BETA users and they told us:
– It’s easy to use and learn from.
– The Content is interesting and valuable.
– The content is applicable to our staff’s
everyday job.
– The information helps build our staff’s
confidence on the job.
26. BETA results:
On a scale of 1 to 5
(with 1 very unsatisfied and 5 very satisfied)
our BETA testers rate
Learn EyeCare
very high with an
Average Score of
4.7!!!
27. Areas where our BETA group experienced
tangible improvement / ROI
– Optician Retention increased (Turnover decreased)
– Remake % decreased 4% resulting in savings of $80K)
– Now able to Recruit Non-Optical “People persons” and have a method to train into
successful, competent opticians, systematically
28. “We use the program to organize our on-boarding process. We
gained valuable insight into the actual competence levels new
hires have with in the first 30 days.
Before having Learn EyeCare, it could take us months to really
know how much they know and their aptitude for learning new
things.”
