What Managers Should Know About Employee Performance Evaluations
Employee Performance Reviews can be one of the best
tools to boost performance, improve morale and increase productivity …
if they are done well.
But too often people just fill in the forms and
wonder why they didn’t get the results they were looking for. Or, they
are suddenly faced by an employee in tears, or who gets angry during
their performance appraisal. Or, they have to deal with a poor
performer. These everyday events can trip up the most experienced
managers – and derail your whole performance review process unless you
know what to do.
So, where do you find out how to conduct employee
appraisals that work? Most resources on the market are full of complex
theories or require expensive software.… And to make it worse they are only designed for big business –
assuming massive human resource management departments and extensive
administration staff to make the system run.
Small business and most managers simply don’t have the time or the money to deal with employee performance appraisals that way. And a cut-down system just doesn’t match the needs of small business and small business owners.

- Dealing with poor performers – What do you do if someone is a nice enough person but just not performing?
- How to deal with someone deliberately breaking the rules? If you get these steps wrong you could be in for a very costly experience before the courts – it pays to get it right!
