It's much harder to write an employee performance appraisal if you wait til the end of the year to make notes on performance. The resulting reviews are often skewed to focus mostly on recent performance. Halogen eAppraisal™ Manufacturing makes it practical and easy for managers and employees to keep notes on performance year round, so they have a more complete record to guide reviews.
Make Notes in Your Employee Performance Journal on an Ongoing Basis
Employees and managers can make journal entries on an ongoing basis. Keep a more vivid and comprehensive record of performance by capturing the details while they're fresh in your mind. Halogen eAppraisal Manufacturing can even periodically remind you to update your performance journal.
- Use your personal employee journal to record key accomplishments, challenges, awards, and/or recognition as they happen.
- Identify needs for coaching or development.
- Keep your notes private, or choose to share them with your manager.
- Managers can also keep notes on their employees' performance and can share them with their employees if desired.
Use the Details to Write Better Employee Appraisals
Don't rely on your memory. Employees can use their notes to write their self-appraisals or to prepare for discussion with their managers. Managers can use performance journals to provide them with all the details they need to write more detailed appraisals, faster:
- Quickly and easily record performance highlights and challenges in the employee's performance journal when they occur, while the details are fresh in your mind.
- Keep notes on accomplishments as well as performance gaps and critical incident reports.
- Review employee's shared journal notes to get their perspective.
- Attach associated documents that provide additional details.
- Cut and paste employee evaluation journal notes right into the appraisal form for faster appraisal creation and more detailed records.
