Employee Evaluation (Performance Management System as is commonly named) forms determine the effectiveness of the performance appraisal process. Every organization needs a unique form to meet its needs. However, each form needs to have the following essential components to form a reasonable basis for employee evaluation.
As an HR Manager, you are required to play a critical role in the employee performance evaluation system and have an opportunity to add tremendous value to the this crucial exercise.
1. Performance Goals
Performance goals refer to the overall goals the employee needs to attain in order to be effective. This typically comes from their job description or special responsibilities issued to them by their superiors.
2. Performance Measures
Performance measures are the measurable elements deriving from the performance goals. A performance goal can read as follows, "hire interns based on internal talent management procedures". The related performance measures may read, "Recruit six interns within the next three months".
3. Performance Ratings
It helps a lot to have numerical rating systems on your performance evaluation template. Numerical scores are easier to understand and they create a quantified basis for awarding promotions, or demanding improved performance. This also makes it possible for both an employee and their supervisor to know the accomplishments and the weaknesses of an employee.
4. Employee's Remarks
Employee evaluation forms also need to have areas for the employee to make their remarks. The performance of an employee is a dynamic issue, affected by their working environment as well as their personal lives. These remarks are very useful for you as an HR manager in detecting underlying challenges and employee attitudes.
5. Supervisors Remarks
Do not forget to include remarks from the supervisor in the employee evaluation forms. Usually, the immediate supervisor conducts employee performance appraisal under the leadership of HR. The comments of the supervisors should contribute towards decisions to promote, retrain, or to fire a worker. You can improve this process by conducting 360-degree appraisals, which includes the views of the immediate supervisors, peers, and juniors. This approach is especially useful for leadership development.
6. Improvement Plan
The whole point of a performance appraisal is to increase efficiency and therefore output. Employee Evaluation forms must have an improvement plan as the basis for measuring their improvements in the next period. It is your duty as an HR manager to ensure your organizations performance appraisal template contains these elements.
