This week we reviewed Performance Appraisals, their purposes, and what you can and cannot do. Most of this information was discussed in class. We reviewed case studies and discussed what is considered fair and consistent.
A Performance Appraisal or Review is a meeting held with your supervisor/boss to review how you are doing at work. Are you meeting expectations and goals set by either you or your department? Are you 'playing well with others' or do you want to be King of the sandbox?
Other issues to consider are the conducting of the review. We discussed that equality and consistency are important when reviewing performance of all employees. There also has to be proper basis for any discipline. For instance, personal bias should never be behind any disciplinary action.
Discipline in the workplace should be founded and follow steps in order to protect the employee as well as the employer.
First, they should receive a verbal warning that is done tactfully and privately. Preferably, this verbal warning should be done in a constructive way to facilitate correction and help the employee get back on track and should always be documented.
The employee gets yet another chance by receiving a Final Written Notice. When all else fails, termination would be next. These steps can be bypassed in the event of illegal actions or actions leading to the harm of others.
This week's assignments gave me a broader perspective of the process employers go through with employee's regarding employee performance. I can use this information to my benefit in nursing because it broadens my vision of what my employer's position requires. It also helps me to see my performance through the eyes of my employer. This is valuable information that can only help to improve my view of work as well as my performance.
WHERE DO YOU FALL...........
