By taking into account the testimonies of related individuals within the business, a clearer picture can be gained in terms of evaluation. While this kind of data is naturally subjective, it is still useful in assembling a more complete picture of the performance of the employee. Doing this kind of information gathering on a regular basis will allow for better information when the year-end report comes around. Trying to gather data retroactively will result in inaccuracies and lost details along the way.
Staying ahead of the curve in data collecting is something that I have taken from this eBook and will hope to put into action in my position. My favorite section of this book was by far the section that speaks to rating bias.
With any exercise where subjectivity is in play, there are also large margins of error. To help correct that, it is useful to understand where the mistakes can come from and how to sidestep them.
The rating bias section includes ten points that are common causes of bias during an evaluation. In order to get use from this section, however, you need to be brutally honest with yourself and try to recognize some of these mistake in your own actions. None of us like to think that we are biased, but I bet if you look hard at your history you will find at least some of these points to ring true. I believe that all managers know they need to be constantly evaluating their staff, but they just might not know how to go about it in an efficient manner.
For me, it is usually one of those tasks that gets pushed back 'until tomorrow'. This eBook has helped me think of some ways that I can make the process more efficient, and hopefully stay ahead of the game going forward so my evaluations can be more accurate and less time consuming. Lee Hopkins.
I Learned a Fair Amount from This Book As someone who is studying human resources, it is really important for me to understand all aspects of this career, including how to properly evaluate performance.
Someone from class recommended this site to me and this particular e-book. I have learned so much from just reading this one e-book and have to recommend it to anyone who wants to understand how to give a performance evaluation correctly. Although I found a few concepts difficult to grasp, I learned a fair amount from this book.
This e-book will teach you how to collect data, what scales to use to rate performance, and how to record the evaluation so that it is helpful to you in the future. As the book states, your performance evaluation is only as successful as the performance data you collect.
One of the first things I learned about evaluating performance is that it's not just about getting a pay increase at the end of the year. There is so much more involved when it comes to evaluating performance. For one, the appraisal term is a full year, so the evaluation process happens throughout the year. When it comes time to evaluate, then the meeting has to be conducted properly. You have to set goals and agree to them, your boss has to lay out what he or she may want from you, you can lay out what you want to do in the next year, meet throughout the year to review performance and make sure you are on track, etc.
Organization and assessment throughout the year is key for effective evaluations. A manager needs to watch his or her staff and must collect performance data. The book outlines specific ways a manager can gather information, whether it be his or her own observation or by gathering information on a particular individual through other team members.
Another way is to note down goals that a manager wants an individual to reach at the beginning of the year. The book points out that there is generic data you can collect on an individual such as attendance, attitude, creativity, reliability, etc.
Competencies are also of importance as they can tell a lot about an individual. Even if the individual reaches their intended goal, a manager has to observe how they got there. It is easy to make a pros and cons list of all the things the individual has done during projects to evaluate better. Another important point is to ensure that a manager does not let their biases get in the way of evaluating a person. Regular reviews are the actual key to performance evaluation.
Consistently reviewing staff members is another way to ensure that individuals keep up their performance and try to exceed their past performances. These customizable sample evaluations can address almost any situation. It's review time again, and yet you can't find the time or the energy to write those appraisals.
