Performance Review Quiz
EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE reviews hold hidden potential. They can motivate, spell out expectations, dispense rewards, celebrate accomplishments, target goals, and pump up employees.
These "true" or "false" questions rate your performance-review skills:
1. Your employee has not been working to the best of his abilities. The review is the time to correct on-the-job errors.
2. An employee consistently out-performs his peers. Your review of his work should include tangible examples of excellent performance.
3. You use weekly staff meetings to discuss departmental goals. You should save discussion of future expectations for these meetings rather than during the employee's individual review.
4. To engender respect, your demeanor and attitude during a review should be all business. The review is a discussion of your recommendations and disappointments with the employee.
5. The employee's cheerful, positive attitude and overall helpfulness make him or her an asset. Recognize these contributions during the review.
Answers: 1. False. Address problems at the time they occur. 2. True. Real examples serve to illustrate the employee's accomplishments and personalize the review. 3. False. Goal setting should be part of the performance review. 4. False. A positive, helpful attitude during the review is the best way to get optimum num results. 5. True. An employee's extra effort should be acknowledged and praised during the review.
