Conduct Performance Evaluations
– What makes an effective employee evaluation form? Truth is you can download a templatefrom the internet and call it a day,but that template won’t be the most effective form.Your form should help you manage performanceusing your own company goals and values.I’ve included a template evaluation formin the Exercise Files for this course,but my hope is that you’ll only use it as a guidewhile you watch this video and will make changes to itso that it suits your company specifically.There are a few things to keepin mind as you create your forms.
The first is that each job descriptionshould have it’s own matching evaluation form.In other words, job descriptionsand performance evaluation formsgo hand-in-hand like his and hers bathroom towels.Also remember that evaluation formsshould be clear and easy to use.Don’t make them too complicated or lengthy.Finally, remember that while performance evaluationsmay be conducted annually, your managersand supervisors should be giving ongoing feedback all year.In fact, the annual performance evaluationshould just be the formalized versionof a conversation that’s already taken placemany times over throughout the year,so the first step in creating a performance evaluation formis to understand the core competenciesa person in each position should be measured againstand describe those competencies on the evaluation form.
