Notas del editor
- These are a few of the books that have been written in the past few years calling for the end of the performance evaluation. I’ve read them and they all say the same thing…which I agree with.Rather than doing the evaluation TO the employee once a year, which often ends in surprise, disappointment, anger, or just indifference, we should be having regular conversations with employees, setting clear expectations, coaching them to be wildly successful, and recognizing that success when it occurs. However, I also believe, as do most HR professionals and employment law experts, that a formal process is critical to documenting the employee’s contribution. If done well, the employee appreciates it as recognition and as a record of their good work. The manager benefits because she knows she is providing the formal support the employee needs to grow, and the organization benefits because it has a method for proving its decisions and for tracking progress over time.So, long live the performance evaluation!! Let’s finish this up for today.
