Problems with the Form

First of all, the Employee Evaluation Form offers no explanation for what "Low," "Average," and "High" really mean in terms of performance. There should be a thorough explanation as to what those categories reflect. Moreover, the area for comments is very limited, just enough for a few scribbled notes. That's wholly inadequate for a good review of an employee's progress and work ethic.

Secondly, there should be explanations under each category. In the category "Decision Making," for example, what kinds of decisions are expected of a rank and file employee? If the employee is only being evaluated once a year, but his or her supervisor (with no other input), how will that supervisor know what kinds of decisions (quality or otherwise) the employee has made? All in all it seems like a very cursory and vague kind of evaluation.

Supervisors should be evaluated by professional HR people on all the same categories as the rank and file. The form should be more expansive (with, as mentioned above, specific guidelines as to what "Professional Development," and the other categories mean); it should have ample room for copious notes on what the employee feels his or her strengths and weaknesses are. Where is the place for feedback from employees during their evaluation? Isn't it usually a two-way street? For example, there should be a place for the evaluator's remarks and for the employee's response to questions as part of the evaluation.
