Do you get frazzled trying to write employee performance elements and standards that align with your agency's goals and objectives? Not sure where to start? Well, we have the solution! A Handbook for Measuring Employee Performance: Aligning Employee Performance Plans with Organizational Goals is now available.
This handbook is designed as a stand-alone version of our popular workshop, "Measuring Employee Performance," that we conduct periodically. Attendees of past workshops have told us:
We designed the handbook as a tool to aid supervisors when writing performance plans. The handbook presents an eight-step process for developing employee performance plans that align with and support organizational goals. The methods presented in the handbook help supervisors focus on measuring employee and work unit accomplishments (i.e., results, such as products and services) rather than measuring activities, behaviors, or competencies. Consequently, much of the information presented in the first five steps of this eight-step process applies when supervisors and employees want to measure results. However, the material presented in steps six through eight (about developing standards, monitoring and tracking performance, and checking the performance plan) apply to all measurement approaches.
This 84-page book contains detailed information on each of the 8 steps of the process, exercises to assist you through each step, a quick reference for developing performance plans, and appendices of sample elements and standards.
After reading the instructional material, studying the examples, and completing the exercises in this book, you should be able to:
