Job Performance And Evaluations

My thoughts about the performance evaluation process in general? A great tool & practice to help assist employees in receiving feedback. When needed this process would enable workers to find their weaknesses & strengths. From there one can take the proper steps in bettering performance. A great tool for employer’s as-well, managers, supervisor & executives can learn where they need to provide more training or know who does better on particular projects. Thus this information can be useful when specialized teams are assembled for specific platforms. Besides this there could be a structure on how to guide someones to do better, place incentives while letting be known the expectations of the prospect. I recall working at a clothes distributing warehouse, when I received an employee performance evaluation report. My supervisors informed me that they see the effort I was putting in, besides that they made it known that they were pleased.

They were pleased on how fast I picked up on how to-do my duties, the preciseness & speed in me handling my duties, made note on me finishing duties then helping or offering help to co-workers, my great attendance as well as tact in being on time to work & my capacity to get-along with & work with others. As a result of displaying these qualities, I was offered a job directly in-to the company, before my probation period was up, at that time I was working for the company through a temp-agency. The experience was a great one, it would’ve allowed the supervisor to give me a heads-up on how my performance was, & in what areas that I may have needed to improve to reach my goal in-being hired. Depending on the person being evaluated & the intentions of the employer it could be viewed as either a negative or positive. Negative for different reasons for example, a person doesn’t really like the job, their just wanting to do insufficient work but still always have the opportunity of receiving a check, if a manager or supervisor wants to help them be great workers, they may not want that type of feedback because they’re un-willing to do the work, another scenario whereas this can be a negative, if a person’s doing what they feel’s the best they can & find that the employer has been evaluating them, they may began to feel pressured & become un-comfortable, especially if trying to ensure their work is excepted that they may make mistakes for overthinking or rushing work. That being said if a job has a bias, a boss can use this as an excuse to terminate someone, I’ve seen it happened. In my experience though it can be a great way to know what you may need to do or stop doing to be perceived in the best light.

Do your best to be recognized as doing so & even if someone looking for an excuse your work may speak for itself & an others take notice, other-wise being mediocre can give an excuse for somebody looking for one to terminate your chance for employment at that location. While giving a performance evaluation, if there were some areas that needed improvement with an employee’s job performance, I would convey this to the employee by first mentioning the great things they’re doing, I would let them know this is just a tool, used in-order to see where someone may need help, also that this tool is great for informing me on ways to: brainstorm to see if there’s better ways to guide my employees by creating additional workshops or training.

At the same time this allows me to know, who may be suitable for particular task that may be called to action, where a specialized few may be sufficient. Let’s not forget to mention each-one-teach one, other co-workers doing better in certain areas can be partnered or grouped with those that can benefit from their learning leading by example. A massive plus if they’re comfortable or already friend’s, this can take some of the tension out of the situation. Therefore I’d encourage them to not feel overwhelmed, & when they feel they need extra help to fulfil their duties, to let me know so I can see what I can do to assist them in getting better in their task if that’s their goal.
