Managers working in today's organizations often focus more on results
than on the people who achieve those results. But regularly evaluating
the performance of your employees is critical to improving the
efficiency and output of your organization. Performance reviews have
changed significantly in the past few years. Companies today are looking
for the key characteristics, known as competencies, that help the most
successful people in their field to be so successful. Managers and
employees need to focus on those competencies, especially during
performance review discussions. Competency-Based Performance Reviews
offers you a new and more effective way to handle performance reviews
and to coach your employees to emphasize the knowledge, skills, and
abilities that they have and the organization needs. Most sophisticated
U.S. and international employers are using competency-based systems to
select, interview, and evaluate the performance of employees. Fortune
500 corporations such as American Express, Anheuser Busch, Coca-Cola,
Disney, Federal Express, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer are all
looking for specific competencies. This book will give you the guidance
you need to: -- Perform competency-based reviews on your employees. --
Help your team get the recognition they deserve in division meetings by
providing the evidence to justify higher performance rankings. --
Develop your own competencies--and those of your employees. -- Coach
employees to recognize competency-based accomplishments and advocate for
themselves throughout the year. -- Write smarter, targeted
competency-based accomplishment statements to use on performance review
forms. By putting these competency-based performance reviews into
practice, managers can strengthen their organziations, their careers, as
well as the careers of their employees. Competency-Based Performance
Reviews includes sample phrases to use on reviews, as well as sample
accomplishment statements to guide employees to improving and writing
their own.
