18th July, 2007: Report Cards

We are never too old for report cards or evaluations being done but typically we prefer it on other people and not ourselves. The intent is always to identify areas that can be improved upon.  Every year we do employee reviews, top to bottom in the organization and ours are coming due the end of June.  We will sit down with each employee, review their current goals and set goals for the upcoming year.  Some of these goals are self improvement while others focus on business improvements.  Then in December we will again sit down and review the progress or make adjustments as needed.  Typically the communication is going on all the time but official documentation happens twice a year.  Not all the goals are met but the identification, documentation, and review help direct the company and people to the next level. 

Someone said that if you do not measure, it will never get done.  As I look back over the past year we have made a lot of good progress but we did not always hit that perfect score.  Well there is always next year to try harder.
