How to Facilitate Performance Evaluations
Steps for Facilitation
This standard operating procedure (SOP) outlines the steps that we follow to facilitate performance evaluations:
- Before the start of the review cycle, we provide managers with a performance evaluation template, which will include the set of standard questions.
- We encourage managers to complete the performance evaluations in advance of the review meeting, and we provide them with sufficient time and support to do so.
- During the review meeting, review and discuss the performance evaluation with the employee, and ask them to elaborate on any specific points or areas of focus.
- Listen actively and empathically to the employee's feedback and comments, and provide them with constructive feedback and support to help them improve and grow.
- Document the performance evaluation and the feedback and action items from the review meeting in Lattice, and share the feedback with the employee for their review and acknowledgement.
- Follow up with the employee after the review meeting to ensure that they have received the support and resources that they need to implement any action items, and to track their progress and progress.
By following this SOP, we can ensure that our performance evaluations are conducted effectively and supportively, and that they contribute to the overall success of the employee review process.
