Approach To Business Performance Assessment Program

By Daphne Bowen


Formal progress evaluation is a technique used by companies to measure their staff productivity regularly. The practice can be done semi annually or annually according to what the organization financial status, size and what their policies state. The process will indiscriminately point out areas where an employee is excelling and also outline the employee weak areas. Business performance assessment program should be applied to all employees without discriminating anyone.

Managers once they identify weak area of an employee they should try to work closely with that particular employee so as to eliminate those weak areas as well as encouraging and rewarding the staff strong points. One of the benefits of reviewing progress of an organization is assessment regularity. Proving official evaluation in your organization makes sure there is regularity when reviewing staff.

But it has been proven time and again that evaluation practice has more benefit that outweighs the challenges faced in the process. The practice should be included in the company policies or strategies for success. When these practice is carried out like a contribution evaluation system which consist of standard form of evaluation, standard measures of conduct, feedback guidelines, and procedures for disciplinary action this practice promote acceptable boundaries for performance, facilitate staff recognition, promote effective communication while facilitating motivation of employees to work even harder for the practice and themselves.

It links productivity with company goals. The success of employee evaluation is succeeding in linking their performance to the goals of that company. This is according to US Handbook personnel management office which is tasked with staff productivity. Before even attending the assessment meeting a manager is supposed to first outline the abilities of employees that benefit the entire organization.

This creates the need for reviewing the performance of an organization. This is because the shareholders feel uncertain of how their companies are performing, they are not sure if there is market capitalization being done and are not certain if company is going towards the right direct or not.

Some professionals will advise companies to seek attorneys advice concerning these matter as it is a very sensitive issue. By facilitating promotion of staff in a company and trying to straighten communication both upward and downward will ultimately motivate employee to work extra hard to benefit the company and for the practice and also for themselves.

The practice identifies abilities and skills for promotion purposes, transfer and also force in reduction. They back up alignment of company objectives with employee goals. The process gives information necessary to determining who is eligible for compensation based on their merits and lastly it offers legal amnesty against lawsuits and other case for inappropriate termination.

Other benefits of evaluation include enhancing employee motivation, productivity and commitment, identifying employees goal as wells as objectives, satisfy basic human requirement through recognition, identifying opportunities for employee to improve and producing opportunities for employee to develop. Each department, agency or institution is supposed to apply one of the two programs that is evaluation based on individual or team based evaluation.
