How to Conduct Staff Evaluation

Conducting Staff Evaluation

Is it the time of the year again for staff evaluation? Usually the HR department formulates an objective method of doing this. The following might give you an idea how things usually go:

Each position should have a job description. This job description should also have well-defined and detailed accounts of tasks. By using these, supervisors can have a guide for evaluating a personnel’s performance based on their tasks.

More and more companies have their employees come up with objectives at the beginning of the year. These too will be evaluated if the goals have been met or if there is any progress in achieving said goals within the given time-frame.

Some companies have simple standard formats while some have more complex ones which may or may not include “self-evaluation,” wherein the employee has the opporunity to rate themselves.

Part of the evaluation process involves performances in the past, the present, and the even the future. Present performance can be compared to past and new goals can be set for future evaluation.

Some companies hold their evaluation outside the work site so that employees can talk more freely.

Evaluation shouldn’t be done only once every year. Managers and the HR department usually conduct quarterly or mid-year checks to make sure that certain issues can be discussed and resolved. Employees who are lacking motivation can still be guided properly.
