Agencies are required by regulation to evaluate their performance appraisal
program. Is your agency's appraisal program effective? Want to find
out? Do you even know where to begin? Evaluating
Performance Appraisal Programs: An Overview has some ideas on how
to evaluate your agency's appraisal program.
Did you know that team performance can be linked to agency organizational
goals? Do you know the seven things you can use team performance appraisals
for? Performance Appraisal for Teams
suggests some ways to effectively appraise team performance.
Looking for a way to match up employee performance appraisals with
agency performance goals and objectives? Not sure where to start? OPM
has the answer! A Handbook for Measuring
Employee Performance: Aligning Employee Performance Plans with Organizational
Goals is now available. (PDF file 1.7MB)
- The handbook teaches a straightforward eight-step process for developing
employee performance plans that support organizational objectives.
It also provides guidelines for writing performance elements and standards.
To illustrate each step, the handbook provides examples including
a case study using OPM's own strategic and annual performance plans
and their application to employees within OPM's Office of Retirement
Programs. It also includes exercises where the reader can try out
the techniques the handbook covers.
- This handbook is based on a 1-day workshop we offer periodically.
