From gathering information on current skills upon hire, to providing the right trainings during on-boarding, to ongoing performance evaluation and reinforcement: taking the time to define and refine how you measure employee performance is critical. During this presentation, Shannon will describe a process for developing good evaluations, from defining the critical skills and what "good" looks like, developing the best strategy, schedule, and tools for measurement, and will discuss how to integrate participative management strategies to ensure social validity and employee and supervisor buy-in to the evaluation process.
