Description

Preparing employee performance evaluations is a task often dreaded by managers and human resource professionals alike. And yet, documenting performance is critical for employee productivity, workplace morale, effective supervisor-subordinate communication and legal protection. Like all employment documentation, poorly-prepared evaluations can be more dangerous than no evaluations at all.

In this practical and informative seminar, employment law attorney Karen L. Gabler will discuss a variety of issues related to preparing and presenting employee evaluations. Topics covered will include the following:

Should we conduct evaluations? Why?
What kind of evaluations should we have?
Should we ask employees to do self-evaluations?
What format is best?
What exactly are we evaluating?
What categories should we include?
What should we say (or not say!) in evaluations?
Should we use grades or numerical scores?
How do we use evaluations to assess bonus eligibility? And should we?
How do we present the evaluation to the employee?
How can we make sure the evaluation is useful even after it's over?
Why are evaluations so difficult, and how can we make them easier on everyone?
