ADM 9: Performance Evaluations

Overview

Performance evaluations provide staff with valuable insight into their job performance and offer ways to improve their practices. Evaluations also allow employees to self-evaluate and reflect,, state their career goals, and identify areas for growth. The evaluation process should be supportive and provide constructive feedback to staff members, highlighting their strengths and suggesting areas for improvement.

Regular performance evaluations encourage open communication between program directors and staff members. The conversations can include identifying opportunities for professional development and training that support professional growth, improvement, and progress toward goals.
