Performance

For this work, determine an effective process to evaluate the performance of one of your employees. As you have determined that periodic evaluations can be more beneficial than annual evaluations, you will be evaluating the mid-level manager who you hired and who has now been on board for 6 months. Your process should include an appropriate evaluation tool and a means of providing feedback on the employee’s performance issues.

There are three parts to this project. You will begin by developing a performance review form that contains a minimum of 10 points of criteria. The attached template (Project Template.pdf) is a starting point and may be used as is or can be modified as you wish. The template has 10 points of criteria; however, you can add more if the specifics of the position warrant you doing so.

• Provide an explanation for      each of the criteria. Remember, these should directly represent the      knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) as well as the requirements for      the position.
• Develop a rating scale, and      provide a legend that identifies the distinct performance rating      definitions. There must be a minimum of three levels. (The template has      three levels; however, you can add more.)
• Next, you will fill out your      newly created form to evaluate the mid-level manager. This is, of course,      based on the input of the immediate supervisor and your own assessment.
• Evaluate each criteria, and      include a minimum of three criteria where the employee does not meet      performance expectations.
• Summarize the employee      performance appraisal in the comments section.
• Identify the employee’s      strengths and weaknesses.
• Offer feedback and coaching      on ways that the employee can improve his or her performance.
• Finally, you will write a one-page      synopsis in which you explain the value of your evaluation process and new      tool to your leadership team. Include the information below:
  • how the changes will benefit       the organization,
  • how equal employment       opportunity laws were considered, and
  • strategies that leaders can       use to address unmet employee performance expectations.
• Include two sources to      support your explanation.

The template is only a guideline. You are encouraged to modify it as you wish, as long as it still meets all of the above listed requirements. Combine your completed template and the one-page synopsis into one document. Ensure that you include a title page. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
