SWUSWU Key Evaluation TechniquesKey Evaluation TechniquesKnow your objectives going into the performance evaluation– Review and rate prior year’s performance– Provide feedback regarding development opportunities– Set goals and objectives for next year’s performance (This year

you will be using the SWAT Catchball and Excel Tool to record this process)

Prioritize and focus on a few main points– Do not give a “whitewash” evaluation, being honest and direct

adds value

Practice, practice, practice– Performance reviews should be done in a pre-determined amount

of time staying on track to what you have prepared to discuss

SWUSWU Goal Setting PrioritiesGoal Setting Priorities

Goals should stretch individuals to achieve more and to grow year to year

Goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant & Time-bound (SMART)

The Job Summary is displayed in the beginning of the Performance Review and is in a bulleted format


A 5-point rating scale is used to rate the overall performance of each employee

One of the organizations goals by using this tool is to establish consistency in ratings across the organization, each point on the scale has been defined and provides guidelines for use

SWUSWU Online Evaluation ToolsOnline Evaluation ToolsIn the Expectations section you will enter up to 8 tasks your employee will be evaluated against– If in the same role from 2010 these will carry over with

the option to remain or change as needed– If in a new role from 2010 you may copy from the job

description or major responsibilities may be summarized

– You will then rate each line and include descriptive comments to support your rating scores

In the Goals Section you will enter up to 9 goals your employee will be evaluated against

– If goals were set in the performance tool at the end of the 2010 review cycle these goals will be loaded automatically

– If you set goals outside of the performance tool and have been tracking them throughout the year you will need to copy and paste them into this section.

– You will then rate each line and include descriptive comments to support your rating scores

The Expectations and Goals Sections together represent 80% of the total score


The next section to be completed is the Organizational Competencies

– The Mission, Values and Performance Improvement Sections are on a five point scale and represents 20% of the total score

– Rate your employee for each competency and provide a descriptive comment to support your scores

– The Standards of Behaviors section will not be used in calculating your total score, however if any of the four are rated as no then a performance improvement plan should be put in place and an overall rating of low performer is suggested


Once you have entered the Organizational Competencies, Click SAVE to calculate the total score

You will be able to make changes to the evaluation after you click SAVE


A sample of the recommended focus of H-M-L conversations is displayed for your use


The online evaluation tool provides a section for you to establish goals for 2012 with your employees

The 2012 Goals section will not be filled out by you this year. You will align and set goals through the SWAT catchball and Excel tracking tools. This will then be uploaded by HRIS for you into the online evaluation tool.

Low Performer Conversations

– Do not start the meeting out on a positive note

– Use the DESK approach: DESCRIBE - Describe what has been observed

EVALUATE - Evaluate how you feel

SHOW - Show what needs to be done

KNOW - Ensure that employees know the consequences of the continued poor performance

SWUSWU


Low Performer Conversations– Develop a specific action plan to move the staff

member from Low to Medium

– An action plan should detail the problem, the steps to take to solve the problem, and a timeframe (typically 90 days)

– Involve the employee to identify and discuss the issues. If they don’t agree let them provide feedback on why and have a voice even though it does not change your assessment. Both sign off on understanding the plan, specific steps and timeframe for completion.

– A Performance Improvement Plan template is located on InSite under HR Compensation and in Manager’s Portal.

Calculation Example

Expectation + Goal Section = 80% of total score

8 areas to set expectations worth a score of 1 to 5

9 areas to set goals worth a score of 1 to 5

If score 5 on all 17 = 85 points divided by # of questions (17) = 5

5 x 80% = total score for that section 4

Organizational Competencies Section = 20% of total score

Mission, Values, Performance Improvement worth a score of 1 to 5

If score 5 on all 3 = 15 points divided by # of questions (3) = 5

5 x 20% = total score for that section 1

Total score of section 1 (4) = total score of section 2 (1) = 5.0 Overall Total Score Possible
