What is the meaning of performance evaluation?
* An employer can provide consistent feedback on an employee’s strengths and strive for
improvement in the areas that the employees need to work on by conducting an effective
performance evaluation procedure.
* Performance evaluation is an integrated platform for both the employee and employer
to attain common ground on what both think is befitting a performance quality. This helps
in improving communication, which usually leads to better and more accurate team
metrics and, thus, improved performance results.
What is periodic performance evaluation ?
1) Self-evaluation
Self-evaluation is when employees are expected to rate themselves using multiple-choice or
open-ended questions by considering some evaluation criteria. After conducting
self-evaluation, the management can fairly assess an employee by considering their thoughts
about their performance.
It is an amazing method to get started with employee reviews. An organization’s management
can compare every employee’s self-evaluation with the rating their manager provides, which
makes the performance evaluation process effective.
The gap between self-evaluated ratings and the supervisor’s ratings can be discussed to
maintain a certain level of transparency.
2) 360-degree employee performance evaluation:
In this performance evaluation method, an employee is rated in terms of the advancements
made by them within the team as well as with external teams. Inputs from supervisors of
different departments are considered, along with evaluations done by direct supervisors and
immediate peers.
Thus, in 360-degree feedback, each employee is rated for the job done according to their job
description and the work done by them in association with other teams.
3) Graphics rating scale:
It is one of the most widely used performance evaluation methods by supervisors. Numeric or
text values corresponding to values from poor to excellent can be used in this scale, and
parallel evaluation of multiple team members can be conducted using this graphical scale.
In comparison to others in a team, employee skills, expertise, conduct, and other qualities can
be evaluated. It is important to make each employee understand the value of each entity of
the scale in terms of success and failure. This scale should ideally be the same for each
employee.
4) Developmental checklists:
Every organization has a roadmap for each employee for their development and exhibited
behavior. Maintaining a checklist for development is one of the most straightforward
performance evaluation methods.
This checklist has several dichotomous questions, the answers of which need to be positive. If
not, then the employee requires some developmental training in the areas where they need
improvement.
Step 1
In most organizations, a performance evaluation process states that an employee’s performance is
tracked every three and six months, provided the employee has worked with the organization
continually for that tenure.
The HR department can send across an online survey for the employees to fill out regarding their
satisfaction and engagement levels.
Step 2
The employee’s immediate manager will decide on their performance quality after evaluating the
yearly performance, conducting an employee engagement survey, and eventually having
a face-to-face meeting.
Step 3
The feedback received from the online employee satisfaction survey can be kept
anonymous. This feedback can be analyzed in real time from a centralized dashboard.
The manager can prepare further questions for the face-to-face performance evaluation
meeting based on the analysis.
Sample performance review templates:
360-degree review:
The 360-degree survey is a comprehensive review mechanism that helps gather the greatest
insights and feedback on an employee’s performance from their supervisor, peers, colleagues,
and subordinates.
Supervisor evaluation:
The supervisor evaluation survey is deployed to collect employee feedback and information
related to their supervisor. Supervisor evaluation helps an organization and its leadership
understand the accuracy of the work done by the supervisor and also helps them evaluate the
overall value the supervisor adds to their team and to the organization as a whole.
Manager performance evaluation
A manager evaluation survey offers a set of questions that the employees answer to
evaluate their direct or indirect manager’s effectiveness at work. This survey is extremely
useful for the management to understand the manager’s performance, attitude at work,
willingness to help their subordinate, and more.
