Competency 317.1.6: Performance Evaluation
In this paper, I will discuss how to develop and how to recommend and implement an effective performance evaluation process. To begin, I will define what should be evaluated in a performance evaluation. I will than discuss and compare the relative value of common sets of evaluation criteria. Next, I will explain how it can be advantageous to have supervisors, peers and subordinates all participate in the evaluation process. Also, I will explain how it can also be disadvantageous to have supervisors; peers and subordinates to all participate in the evaluation process. Then I will compare and contrast common performance evaluation methods. I will also give examples of errors and biases that commonly

After discussing the three points of concern with the given company’s current evaluation form I will now discuss the most commonly used sets of criteria which should be evaluated in performance evaluation. The three most popular sets of criteria that people are evaluated on are individual task outcomes, behavior and traits. The first one I will discuss is individual task outcomes. This set of criteria would evaluate an employee based on how much volume that person is generating for the company. For example, if a worker is working on an assembly line and is producing a certain amount of parts per hour and is generating a certain amount of scrap per hour as well this would be an individual task outcome. The next popular set of criteria would be behavior. Behavior is a set of criteria that is evaluated based off how well a employee is able to care and show how they can contribute to the company in a positive manner depending on the job. For example, a elementary school teacher would be evaluated on her behavior due to how well she interacts with her class. Is she able to show compassion? Also is she able to show the children that she cares and loves for them. The next set of criteria that I will discuss is traits. Traits are actually one of the least scored criteria because they do not actually count on job performance like individual traits. Being able to show that you are competent in what you are doing
Performance appraisal is an important issue in human resource management and has a significant effect in the performance of an organisation. It is the system of evaluating the performance of employees regarding the accomplishment of their responsibilities and determining their potential to grow and develop. Bias in the evaluation process can affect the accuracy and appropriateness of the performance appraisal. Bias is a serious issue because it affects the ability to make appropriate decisions about the promotion of employees. A performance appraisal system that works to the disadvantage of members of a group can also pose legal issues.
Criteria for performance appraisals is an appraisal free of bias, documented results on file, strategies implemented by development of performance measures, feedback, and information for an employee to maximize their performance. Rating factors, effectiveness, and results used to either terminate employees or identify those with potential for advancement.
An effective performance appraisal system strives for as much precision in defining and measuring performance dimensions as is feasible. Some of the major problems with the Darby appraisal system are:
Chip your overall performance as always is exceptional in all areas, but one. Continue doing your best each and every day as you always do. Over time your handle time will come down as we listen to calls together where you can see what areas you can reduce your calls by a few seconds which will add up to minutes in turn bringing your handle time into goal. I am so very proud of you! The hard work and dedication you put into your work never goes unseen by me, the others supervisor, or Payne.
Evaluating performance. The performance of candidates selected should be evaluated after six-months of consecutive service. The evaluation should be weighed against the specific goals and objectives designated in the position’s description. (Rhodes, 2013) Any accomplishments or achievements should be clearly identified and measured with their overall
This chapter dealt more specifically with how to plan and conduct the evaluation. There are certain things to consider before getting started. The basic first question many evaluators pose to themselves or to a team is how do I get started? How do I conduct an evaluation? How do I focus on the right thing? What needs to be evaluated? How do I plan the specifics for the evaluation? All these questions must be answered and discerned before getting started.
When I was told to watch a performance to write about, I had no idea where to go with watching something. I was stuck. But then I was thinking about it and thought, wait, what if I watch a performance art piece. It literally has performance in the name. This will work perfectly. I looked up some performance art beforehand, and to be honest, I wasn’t impressed with it and thought it was rather peculiar and a little inappropriate. With dabbling upon what I had looked up, I came across Marina Abramović. She caught my eye because of her way of talking. It is so unique and captivating that I couldn’t choose anyone else to watch and write about. If only there was a way to write this paper with the accent Marina has.
Managers are charged with making judgments about their employee’s performance and capabilities. Employees should have a formal evaluation process and should receive regular informal updates from their managers on the job. Performance Evaluations should include basic information regarding the employee, job objectives, job competencies, employee contributions and developmental goals and needs. A performance evaluation should also include an opportunity for management to focus on positive contributions the employee has made, areas that need development, and space for the employee to respond to the appraisal. Setting performance expectations, gathering outcomes from the year and comparing them will help determine whether they are satisfied or whether new initiatives are taken (Andersen, 2016). The
No one ever wants to receive a below-average rating as my review has indicated. I have had a lengthy and well-documented career of consistently meeting and exceeding my goals across two prior companies and my 2015 Performance Review grading is absolutely beyond confounding.
Performance evaluations are a very important part of a business organization and places promotion and retain ability in the hands of the worker. According to Robbins and Judge,” Evaluations provide input into important decisions such as promotions, transfers, and terminations. Evaluations also identify training and development issues.”(pg.595 2009). There are several different theories and ways to conduct performance evaluations such as behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS), critical incidents, graphic rating scales, Forced comparison, group order rankings and individual ranking. Each of these systems can be used on their own for ranking employee performance but some organizations use a combination of systems.
A copy of the Performance Evaluation Form used at Emory College of Arts and Sciences was obtained from the Human Resource specialist. This assessment tool is used to evaluate the primary responsibilities of the employees, work knowledge, quality of work, problem solving/decisiveness, job commitment, interpersonal and teamwork skills, communication skills, leadership skills, and people management skills of employees.
Performance appraisal is an evaluation and grading exercise undertaken in organizations to achieve several objectives such as employee motivation, identification of training needs, rewards and remuneration, employee development through feedback etc. [Fig. 1]. All methods for performance appraisal have several advantages and disadvantages based on location of the firm, socio-economic environment, vision and mission of the firm, organizational structure and other factors. Organizations in different industrial sectors may have different focus areas of work and different values and thus, expectations from employees vary across sectors.
Teacher effectiveness is of the utmost importance to ensure student success. However a valid and reliable performance assessment to evaluate teacher effectiveness has historically remained elusive. Recognizing this need, Stanford University developed the edTPA (formerly Teacher Performance Assessment) to specifically measure teacher readiness/effectiveness. The edTPA began field testing in 2009, and has been administered operationally since 2013. The focus of the edTPA is to assess an authentic cycle of teaching which is comprised of three tasks. These tasks include
The performance appraisal system used by our organization is done annually. The purpose of the review is for employee as well as manager, to aptitude performance from the past year relating to the specific responsibilities and objective of that employee. This gives the opportunity for managers to give feedback on the strengths and development areas that are summarized from that previous year. Employees must also use this opportunity to give feedback on how they can best perform and develop themselves. This
Businesses should employ evaluation criteria in their evaluation processes, which are common across all performance goals, in order to reduce real or perceived bias in the employee evaluation process.
