Performance appraisal is a nine-step process. At the first stage, performance standards are established based on job description and job specification. The standards should be clear, objective and incorporate all the factors. The second stage is to inform these standards to all the employees including appraisers. The third stage is following the instructions given for appraisal measurement of employee performance by the appraisers through observation, interview, records and reports.
The fourth stage is finding out the influence of various internal and external factors on actual performance. The influence of these factors may be either inducing or hindering the employee performance. The measured performance may be adjusted according to the influence of external and internal factors. The performance derived at this stage may be taken as actual performance. The fifth stage is comparing the actual performance with that of other employees and previous performance of the employee and others. This gives an idea where the employee stands. If performance of all the employees is ranked either too high or too low, there may be something wrong with the standards and job analysis.

The mind of a business owner Oil, Lube and Filter Employee Pay We have been studying the labor rates of Oil, Lube and Filter Quick Lube Facilities and we are finding that the pay is lower than you might expect. We also believe this is part of the problem with recruiting and retaining key employees. The average employee at a Quick Lube is a little under $7.00, which is lower than you would expect and certainly lower than the customer is thinking you are paying. This maybe why the average employee only stays employed about 1.8 years and then leaves for greener employment. A recent survey shoed us that the pay was actually $7.75 and the average employee stayed on 2 years, this is not what we found in our survey talking to people in the business. Of course in our survey we did factor in Wal-Mart quick lubes which so many in the industry deny their existence even though they command over 11% market share and growing at 2% per year, we expect by 4% per year by 2005. The average Manager in the Industry is being paid $32,519.00 yearly from an ASO Magazine and NOLN-National Oil and Lube News. The average manager is staying about 4 years. But we think these numbers will change as competition continued to increase and we are predicting 980 new Oil and Lube buildings to be erected and start business by End of Year 2004. |
The sixth stage is comparing the actual performance with the standard and finding out the deviations. Deviations may be positive or negative. If employee performance is more than the standards, it is positive deviation and vice versa is negative deviation. The seventh stage is communicating, the actual performance of the employee and other employees doing the same job and discuss with him about the reasons for positive or negative deviations from the pre-set standard as the case may be.
The eighth stage is suggesting necessary changes in standards, job analysis in internal and external environment. Lastly, there is follow up of performance appraisal report. This stage includes guiding, counseling, coaching and directing the employee or making arrangements for training and development of the employee in order to ensure improved performance. If the actual performance is very poor and beyond the scope of improvement, it may be necessary to take steps for demotion, retrenchment or any other suitable measure.

I forgot my best friend's birthday and her anniversary. Both special days are back to back and I forgot both of them. After being friends for twenty years I feel old and stupid! It could have been that I was packing my last child to go off to college and the constant comments like," You're going to be empty nesters", like I was a big, fat robin, were starting to wear very thin. Even having my youngest leave home was not enough of an excuse to miss two important days in my best friend's life. Business & Family Safety and Health Rating For good reason, practically every endeavor in life is rated. I've seen ratings on who or what's #1 in business, industry, NFL, NBA, MLB, person of the century, athlete of the century, technology, restaurants, university, neighborhoods, travel destination, best looking, best movie, best book, etc. It doesn't stop. In fact, there are multiple ratings for the same #1 spot because of varying value systems. Of course, each of us has our independent rating to see if it's in agreement with the masses, the experts, or promotional efforts. Here's a rating I haven't seen that applies to business and family. What is the safety and health rating of your business and family? To take it further, how does your business and family rate in respect to others for improvement? It could be separated by many categories. My point is, with high safety and health levels all good endeavors are made possible. Therefore , safety and health needs to be rated. |
