PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

[mfdengine5]

I'm working on a project to re-do our employee evaluation system that has remained the same since 1980. tell me how your department handles evaluations.

Hey LT...from the other MFD! Within the last year we just revamped our appraisal forms, the process and etc. It took a committee of FD members most of nine months...but the old process/appraisals were too often pencil-whipped and carried no weight. Specifically, instead of a generic form, each rank has a job-specific appraisal that has ten categories:communication, job knowledge, decision making/judgement, dependability, employee/public relations, flexibility/stress tolerance, initiative, physical fitness, safety, and training development. Ironically (?) the performance appraisals are now tied to a step system in which you receive a pay raise (one step in grade) if you pass minimum requirements. (3.5 on the grading scale) I don't have a copy of one with me but will try to get one, if they are not Top Secret. Email me as a reminder and we'll try to figure how to get one to you (I don't have a scanner )

BTW- Tell BC (DC?) Tom Seever I said hey....

Our performance evaluation is based on two parts. Part "A" is Appraisal of Essential Job Duties. Part "B" is Appraisal of Values-Based Standards such as: Teamwork, Customer Service, Organizational Skills/Time Management, Organizational Relations/Interpersonal Communications, Dependability, Technical Expertise, Safety, General Appraisal.
