BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE DEC 2014 Step 3 Step 4 Create and share benchmarks for the employee. Poor performance may be the result of many factors like poor time management, lack of priority management, inability to fully understand the task, job, or assignment, and inefficient or insufficient co-worker involvement. Develop a short, clear list of actions to correct the performance and have it available to share with the employee. To stimulate dialog, ask the employee how he feels about the goals and if he is confident of attaining each benchmark. Reevaluate the employee performance regularly. You want to use the opportunity to make observations of the employee’s improvement or non-improvement. Do so in a positive way, regardless of whether the employee has shown growth. In the former, use the follow-up evaluation as a means of encouraging more growth; in the latter, emphasize the positive aspects, but include areas to improve. www.bajansunonline.com/MAGAZINE/ | [email protected] | @BajanSunOnline
