Top 5 Goals of Employee Performance Evaluation
Performance evaluation is the part of nearly every organization. It serves not only as a system of evaluation but an effective communication tool as well. The mindset behind conducting an employee performance evaluation is the success of the key talent that overall helps an organization flourish. The process includes
- Setting up goals
- Measuring performance
- Measuring employee progress
- Recognizing work well done
- And documenting all of the above
To develop and implement a perfect plan that works successfully you must be thinking about the following goals in your evaluation process.
Communicating Clear Goals and Their Outcomes
Both the manager and the employee should be clear about the goals, their outcomes and how they will contribute to company objectives in the long run.
Personal and Organizational Development
The evaluation process seeks not only organizational growth but the growth of the employee as well i.e. both personal and organizational development.
Tangible Evidence of Performance Expectations
The process ensures the employees know what is expected out of them and provides both legal and ethical evidence that establishes the employees were actively involved in knowing their responsibilities and performance expectations.
Suggesting Performance Improvement Plan
The process helps establish an improvement plan if the employee is unable to show up to the mark performance enabling those who want to strive for better performance.
Evidence to Unbiased Promotions
The process acts as a source of providing an evidence to unbiased promotion, compensation and recognition measures with a documentation clearly presenting success and failures in achieving goals.
Every job when done right produces the right results; the same applies to conducting evaluations. If the process is fair, there is no reason for either party (managers and employees) to dread them.
