20 Example Dimensions 20 Teamwork: Employee values team interactions and works effectively with others. Is a team player and helps encourage and orient new team members. Employee is able to balance personal effort and project team effort. Communication: Employee communicates professionally with others and shares thoughts and ideas appropriately. Listens to others, asks clarifying questions, and controls emotions under pressure.

21 Example Dimensions 21 Customer Focus: Employee understands who their customers are and proactively responds to customer needs and adheres to ministry service standards. Attendance and punctuality: Employee shows up for work at assigned time and provides ample notice when unable to come to work. Uses designated time off forms to request time away from job.

22 Example Dimensions 22 Job knowledge: Employee understands every aspect of job tasks and responsibilities and proactively updates job skills. Employee offers assistance to help others improve skills.

31 31 Why Do Performance Appraisals? Performance Appraisals should be used to reinforce positive behaviors and course correct where needed. A time to reflect and celebrate accomplishments of the past 12 months.

32 32 All employees want to know whether they re doing a good job. Formal performance evaluations force managers to communicate performance results both good and bad to employees.

33 33 If you don t monitor desired performance, you won t achieve desired performance. Don t leave achieving your goals to chance; develop systems to monitor progress and ensure that your goals are achieved.

34 34 Fair Relevant Complete PA Needs to be:

35 Fair 35 All employees should be observed and behaviors documented in the same way in terms of frequency, type of language used, harshness of judgment and interim feedback. Would you have written the same notation on a different employee? Do not overemphasize single events. Give feedback as soon as you see a problem to give employees a chance to improve.

36 36 Relevant The appraisal should be relevant to the performance of the job and relevant to the specific standards and/or expectations that have been established. Refer to standards/goals in force (i.e.; Service Standards, Attendance Policy, etc.) Focus on behaviors and results.

37 Complete 37 Monitoring and documenting should tell a complete story about the employee. Monitor the entire performance period. Note unusual circumstances that may affect the performance. Include accomplishments that indicate strong performance. Be specific on both positive and negative observations. Review your observations periodically to be sure a third party reviewing information would get an accurate picture.

40 40 What is a Rater Error? A barrier to the accuracy and credibility of performance measures is posed by a number of rater errors, perceptual biases and other sources of distortion in performance ratings.

41 Rater Errors 41 Halo Effect: A rater s overall positive or negative impression of an individual employee leads to rating him or her the same across all rating dimensions. Leniency Error: Rater s tendency to rate all employees at the positive end of the scale (positive leniency) or at the low end of the scale (negative leniency).

42 Rater Errors (cont.) 42 Central Tendency Error: is the raters tendency to avoid making extreme judgments of employee performance resulting in rating all employees in the middle part of a scale. Recency Error: is the rater s tendency to allow more recent incidents (either effective or ineffective) of employee behavior to carry too much weight in evaluation of performance over an entire rating period. This can be extreme on both ends of the spectrum.

43 Rater Errors (cont.) 43 First Impression Error: Rater s tendency to let first impressions of employee performance carry too much weight in evaluation of performance over an entire rating period. Similar-to-me error: Rater s tendency to be biased in performance evaluation toward those employees seen as similar to the raters themselves.

44 Preparation for PA 44 Decide what information should and should not be included in the final appraisal. From entire period. Information that show patterns for entire period. There should be no surprises. Block out time on your calendar. Allow at least 1 hour per employee. Organize the material.

45 Preparation for PA 45 Decide what information should and should not be included in the final appraisal. From entire period. Information that show patterns for entire period. There should be no surprises. Block out time on your calendar. Allow at least 1 hour per employee. Organize the material.

46 Preparation for PA 46 Schedule PA at an appropriate time and neutral place (if possible). Be free of interruptions. Be prepared with specific incidents of effective and ineffective performance.

47 PA Discussion 47 State purpose of appraisal and process of discussion. Review appraisal with employee. Probe for additional information, misunderstanding or views that differ from yours. Summarize performance discussion. Discuss goals and development plan. Have employee sign appraisal form.

48 Other Thoughts 48 Management must be willing to commit significant amounts of time on a regular basis to performance management. A lack of clear performance expectation and detailed performance feedback is a major source of stress for employees. Make sure employee s job description reflects what is written in their goals.

53 53 How do scores ties to raises? Assumptions: 11 employees each making $10/hour. Budgeted raises = 3.5% or $8,008 (.035X$228,800). Average score (3.0) will received 3.5% increase those scoring below average will receive less, those scoring above will receive more.
