Recommendation

This practical guide is a must-read for anyone who conducts performance evaluations - especially for those new to the process. Step-by-step, it explains why you should evaluate employee performance, how to set up a program and how to conduct the evaluations. The appendices alone are invaluable. Author Glenn Shepard provides nearly 60 pages of useful, hands-on materials. Appendix A is packed with words and phrases that will enable you to be specific about your observations of employee behavior in areas such as attendance and workplace safety. Appendix B provides five performance evaluation forms that demonstrate a variety of evaluation techniques, such as using essays or assigning numerical values to weighted descriptive scales. Appendix C includes several self-evaluation forms organizations can use as models. getAbstract recommends this book to managers, supervisors and human resource professionals who must develop workable, legally sound employee performance evaluation systems.

Take-Aways

  • If you don’t conduct performance evaluations correctly, employees may use them as evidence against your company in a lawsuit.
  • Well-conducted performance evaluations benefit the employee, the manager and the organization.
  • A performance evaluation isn’t a punishment.
