The Employee Appraiser
All agencies are encouraged to provide supervisors with "Employee
Appraiser", a Windows and Word based software. The Employee
Appraiser software facilitates the performance appraisal process; it
is not required. It assists supervisors in managing performance through
documenting feedback plans and reviews. It is easy to use and customize
to fit your agency needs. It contains the following features:
Writing Assistant - provides descriptive phrases that
closely describe an employee's performance. The writing samples are
organized by topics related to appraisals. Each topic has three standard
levels: improve, meets, and exceeds. These writing samples can and should
be 'fine tuned' to a more specific performance description. The descriptive
language on each employee's performance appraisal should be customized
for each employee. Tuning the text upward creates samples that are more
supportive for a job well done. Tuning the text downwards creates samples
that are directed toward confronting performance issues. The samples
should be edited to describe actual performance.
Coaching Advisor - offers new ideas to motivate employees
and problem solve performance issues. It suggests strategies and guidance
that can be customized and included in the actual evaluation. It can
also be printed and used as a reference when conducting the person-to-person
part of the appraisal process.
Employee Folder - stores information about employees.
It allows the manager to organize 'notes' and documents on performance
issues throughout the evaluation period. This information, both positive
and negative, can then be placed directly in the appraisal without having
to be rewritten.
Manager's Resource Center - provides documents that
assist in writing job descriptions, performance objectives, and development
plans which helps with employee recognition and in writing coaching
memos.
