Evalutation procedure

Employees, unless they are doing poorly, generally like a periodic evaluation of their performance. Job performance should steadily improve due to an atmosphere of continuous, objective responses which reinforces one's accountability. An effective evaluation process provides one of the means for management to recognize strong performance and to motivate and improve weak performance. It should be remembered that evaluating an employee's performance is not an easy task, nor is it pleasant when there is a substandard review. However, it is the responsibility of each manager to evaluate and discuss job performance with the employees under his/her supervision. The experience should be positive when viewed as a benefit to the company as a whole. It is also a service to the employee, but not always regarded as such. Even a substandard review can be viewed as positive to the employee if it provides the means to improve performance.
