Focus on preparation and use available resources to ensure that the process benefits both you and the employee. Focus your preparation on you, the environment, and the staff member. Picture yourself as a basketball coach. Your answers probably include the player's relationship to the team. From a coaching perspective, start the evaluation process by guiding the staff member through a review of how her role relates to the rest of the team, and ultimately to patients and their families.
Organizations vary in their purposes for evaluations.
The reasons may, for example, include goal-setting or determining wage status. Consider why the evaluation process is important to your organization and how its mission statement ties into this purpose. Get your employee ready Your employee will get the most out of the evaluation if she's allowed to prepare. She'll also be more relaxed. Notify the employee 2 weeks before the evaluation.
