Performance Evaluations
It is essential that employees understand what acceptable performance is in their jobs. While continuous performance feedback is ideal, supervisors should provide their employees with at least an annual performance evaluation that is factual, fair, straightforward, objective, and constructive. Not only will regular performance evaluations help alleviate an employee’s uncertainty and anxiety, but well-documented evaluations can provide a valid defense in litigation proceedings. Additionally, performance evaluations can assist with decisions on disciplinary actions, salary increases, and promotions.
Attached are samples of performance evaluation forms used by some communities.
To submit a sample from your municipality or school, please e-mail the sample to gwilson@nhlgc.org.
