MODULE 16
Interpret the purpose and use of a performance
evaluation and complete a self-evaluation.
Objectives:
TO THE STUDENT: Read and study this information sheet and then complete the
student activities at the end of this module.
Job success depends a great deal on how your supervisor rates your
performance on the job. At most companies, employees are reviewed
every six months or once a year. As a co-op student you will be rated
monthly or as designated by the individual program. During these
reviews, employees are rated on their work and social skills as well as
their attitudes towards work.
6. Plan for Future On This Job -- Evaluation and review should lead to
problem-solving and planning for improved performance. The plan
should include assignments and training. Planning should be a joint
effort.
Self-Evaluation
How Well Was This Accomplished -- Finally, ask, "How well did I do in
completing my assignments during the past appraisal period?" This is
your evaluation of your effectiveness in your Key Areas of
Responsibility. Consider if the accomplishments came up short, were
just met, or exceeded your expectations. Consideration should also be
given to early completion, delays, and so on.
DIMENSIONS SUPPLEMENT
(from Bethlehem Steel Corporation and Republic Waste Industries, Inc.)
Dimensions are categories of observed behaviors that are considered essential to effective job
performance and results attainment. For example, a definition of the dimension Initiative is: active
attempts to influence events to achieve goals. Initiative is evident when an employee seeks solutions to
problems before being asked or directed. On the other hand, initiative is lacking when an employee
seldom acts unless specifically directed.
Dimensions are useful in that they focus on how work is done. The dimensions process will stimulate
discussion on the how's. As a result, the performance appraisal process will be more comprehensive
and substantive and will establish the groundwork for the constant improvement required of us all to be
the best that we can be.
