Writing a Performance Evaluation
MAKE IT PAINLESS!
|
Your employee's performance evaluation is due soon and you don't know where to begin.
You sit staring at the blank computer screen in front of you. The pressure to "get the thing done" is weighing on you. Writing a performance evaluation document can be a challenging assignment, but it doesn't have to be so painful. Here are a few tips for crafting meaningful comments on a performance evaluation document: - Refer to pre-determined standards and goals. Begin by listing the outcomes you and the employee agreed to at the beginning of the year. What goals were set? What expectations were established? Once you've listed what was expected, follow each with a description of what the employee did to achieve them. For example, you might have agreed that the employee would reconcile monthly statements and follow up on any discrepancies. Your comments will indicate the level to which the employee delivered on that expectation.

Final Footnotes
NEWS & EVENTS FROM MARNIE

It's hard to believe that I've been writing the E-Tips newsletter monthly since December 2005. It's been a labor of love and a fun way to offer continued support of your professional development. However, as I mentioned in last month's edition, I will be transitioning to new opportunities this summer, and E-Tips will come to a close. Next month will be our final issue.
While it's sad to leave behind my monthly opportunity to say hello, I hope you have found value and inspiration from these articles. I know some readers regularly share the E-Tip with their colleagues and others have repurposed these articles into other forms. I'm honored to have been able to share a little of your inbox each month and will certainly miss our monthly connection. Warm wishes, Marnie E. Green, CSP, IPMA-CP Principal Consultant
