Performance Evaluation
What It Is?
Performance Evaluation is a tool you can use to help enhance the efficiency of the work unit. This tool is a means to help ensure that employees are being utilized effectively. Employees can use it as a clear indication of what is expected of them before you tell them how well they are doing, and then as feedback of how well they did.
Purpose
Performance Evaluation is a multi-purpose tool used to:
• Measure actual performance against expected performance
• Provide an opportunity for the employee and the supervisor to exchange ideas and feelings about job performance
• Identify employee training and development needs, and plan for career growth
• Identify skills and abilities for purposes of promotion, transfer, and reduction in force
• Support alignment of organization and employee goals
• Provide the basis for determining eligibility for compensation adjustments based on merit
• Provide legal protection against lawsuits for wrongful termination
The primary purpose of Performance Evaluation is to provide an opportunity for open communication about performance expectations and feedback. Most employees want feedback to understand the expectations of their employer and to improve their own performance for personal satisfaction. They prefer feedback that is timely and given in a manner that is not threatening.

• Control of the work that needs to be done
