Instructions
Purpose
YOUR COMPANY management will periodically evaluate the performance and objectives of all employees to ensure employees and management are aligned on what is being done for YOUR COMPANY and to optimize employee performance.
Goal
For every employee and manager to know and agree with the employee's performance over the past year along a variety of axes (including job skills, communication, objective completion and others), set objectives for the coming year, areas of and plans for improvement, and career goals.
Process
Completing the Performance Evaluation is a joint process between the manager and the employee.
1. HR will deliver this document to the employee.
2. The manager will request up to 4 people to give 360-degree feedback on the employee using the 360 Form.
3. The employee will enter their own input into the Evaluation Form and the Objectives Form and return to the manager. If the employee was here at the last review period, they should use the objectives set at that time as the objectives being measured in this review. (contact HR if you need a copy of your past review) Getting the employee's perspective first provides both a good starting point for the manager as well as added insight into how the employee considers their own performance and objectives. The employee may enter the weight and rating but should understand that their input is a conversation starter, and that their inputs, rating and weights will most likely be changed by the manager at the manager's discretion.
4. The manager will thoughtfully review the employee input and the 360 feedback, add their own comments, and enter the weighting and rating for each section.
5. The manager will meet with his/her manager to review the documents and edit as needed.
6. The manager will present the evaluation to the employee, discuss their, and anonymously, other's feedback in constructive fashion with the employee. The goal of this meeting is to communicate the assessment of the prior period's performance and agree on objectives for the coming period including any developmental and career objectives. The employee will then sign the review. Both the manager and the next-level manager will sign the review.
7. The evaluation and objectives forms should be returned to HR in both hard copy with signatures and soft copy.
8. In another six months the manager and employee will meet to review progress against objectives and document any new or changed objectives using the Mid-Year Review form.
9. This process is not meant to replace regular one-on-one meetings with direct reports and staff, rather it is meant to enhance the employee's and manager's experience, working relationship and productivity.
