Performance Evaluation Systems Training (PES)
Performance Evaluation Systems Training provides all staff with the skills necessary to write their own job description. Staff learns how to write a summary statement, responsibilty areas and standards of performance. While writing the summary statement staff addresses four questions.
1. What is the Title of Your Position
2. Who are you Responsible For
3. What are you Responsible For
4. How does it Relate to Overall Organization
Following the summary statement staff addresses all their particular responsibility areas. This is accomplished by having staff concrete on daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually and annual responsibilities. Following this, staff takes their list of responsibilities and begins to cluster these areas into homogeneous groupings. Staff continues to cluster each individual responsibility until all areas have been categorized.
Once the summary statement and responsibility areas are successfully completed, staff addresses the backbone of the job description, the standards of performance. Standard of performance is a statement of the desired results we wish to see when a job is done satisfactorily. In order for a standard of performance to be successful in the development of a staff member, it must be measurable. This being the case, staff is trained on how to write specific measurable standards that answer such questions as how much? How many? By when? And to whom? PES Training is conclued with staff learning the role their job description plays in the PES process and how to negotiate their job description with their supervisor.
