Current Evaluation Policy • In place since 1971 policy is out of date and does not totally reflect current practices • Today’s faster pace work environment requires more timely interface with employees • The performance evaluation has evolved into a “report card” that should contain no surprises • The performance evaluation is now just one aspect of CCG Performance Management practices
Performance Management • More than just evaluation of performance • Performance Management tools to track, measure and evaluate progress toward goals/mission include: • Coaching Log to record current interaction • Project boards and spreadsheets • Individual and work-group meetings • Progressive discipline when necessary
Keeping a Record • A paper-based system from 1971 to 2001 • Optional electronic form introduced in 2001 • Management & non-management versions • Probationary & annual versions • Some employees are evaluated in other ways based on job and duties • Examples follow…
Examples • City Manager meets individually with all GG department heads every other month • 1st meeting full scope with goals set for year • Update meetings follow to evaluate progress • If not progressing results in coaching, counseling and/or new directions • Repeated failure to progress results in appropriate action
Other Reported Examples • Monthly, weekly & daily group meetings • Individual & group project meetings • The reported purpose of these meetings includes • Real time immediate feedback • Intervention in critical areas of major projects • Guidance, reassessment of goals/objectives
Tracking and Reporting • Detailed records are available if completed using the electronic system • Although paper evaluations are posted to a database reports are not currently available • All evaluations are placed in personnel file • Alternative evaluation processes that are not documented and paper documents not submitted to HR are not recorded or filed
Going Forward • A new electronic document is being developed to accommodate specialty and non-traditional evaluations • After a phase-in period, only electronic evaluation documents will be accepted • Standardized notices, reminders and overdue evaluation reports are being developed • Current evaluation policy needs to be reviewed and updated
