A UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM

The Archer Expectancy Factor Performance Appraisal System provides the client with a valid and reliable performance appraisal system wherein every mployee’s performance will be appraised against a common set of performance factors. These factors include:

Twelve universal performance factors for non-supervisory employees:  know-how, output, quality, initiative, enthusiasm, judgment, cooperation, attendance, relationships, coordination, and safety.

Twenty-two universal performance factors for supervisory employees: know-how, output, quality, initiative, enthusiasm, judgment, cooperation, attendance, relationships, coordination, safety, reliability, planning, organizing, staffing, leading, controlling, delegating, decision making, creativity, employee relations,  policy implementation, and policy formulation.

Twenty-two universal performance factors for professional (non-supervisory) employees: know-how, output, quality, initiative, enthusiasm, judgment, cooperation, attendance, relationships, coordination, safety, reliability, planning, organizing, administering, influencing, controlling, facilitating, decision making, creativity, user relations, policy implementation and policy formulation.

Note: Each of the universal appraisal factors listed above has three elements associated with it. For example, the factor “attendance” has three elements, each of which must be addressed if the factor is to be objectively appraised: 1) coming to work, 2) coming to work on time, and 3) staying on the job while at work. As an additional example, the three elements for the factor “know-how” are: 1) technical knowledge, 2) interpersonal knowledge, and 3) conceptual knowledge. In addition, each appraisal factor will have a weighting value associated with it based upon its relative importance to all the other factors.
