The
main goal for most businesses is to hire staff that will lead the company to
great success. In most cases this requires employee evaluations. There are many
positive aspects to this evaluation process, although it is not ideal for some
employees, it helps the business thrive.
Employee evaluation is a great way
to honor the hard work and improvement of those who are determined and display
beneficial work ethics. Employees who prove their great amount of performance
throughout the year will be recognized by higher authorities and honored for
their hard work. This is beneficial because it encourages employees to show up
to work and put forth boundless effort in order to stand out and find success.
On the other hand, employee evaluation is a great method to notice the
employees who do not work hard; therefore, they are not benefitting the
company. This can lead to a replacement with someone who is willing to perform
and prove him or herself, leading to a more successful business.
An additional benefit of employee evaluation
is that it allows a company to pin point weak areas that could use some
improvement. This is beneficial for the company because it allows managers to
create a better plan and set goals for employees. This is an effective way to
observe the employees and notice those who are willing to work harder and alter
their work methods in order to perform their job properly. In addition, this
can lead to greater output for a company and result in increased sales and
production. It has been a struggle competing in schools with the large amount
of intelligent students who are all competing for top rankings and acceptances
to various universities. My determination and several years of hard work and
late night studying has paid off and I am grateful to have the opportunity to
attend one of the greatest and largest universities in the state, Texas A&M
University. Fortunately, in the job
world, I do not have to be the smartest employee in my company or the
valedictorian of my college to find success and perform impressively.
Furthermore, simply by working hard and understanding the goals and
requirements anyone is capable of succeeding and benefitting the company.
Employee evaluation is a fair method
of evaluating a large number of employees. This method puts everyone on an even
playing field based on their performance at work rather than their ethnicity,
gender, and personal information and relationships with the employers. This
evaluation process helps to provide evidence of those who have a grasp and
understanding of the company’s requirements and goals. Although this is an
effective method of measuring improvement and performance, this can cause a
great amount of stress and tension between employees. It is understandable that
in most cases employees will experience months where their sales are low;
however, this short amount of time should not be able to define their ability
to perform their job in a successful manner. Employee evaluation is very
beneficial as long as it is over a fairly large amount of time; therefore, this
allows everyone to have a fair amount of time to adapt and prove themselves.
The saying “Hard Work Pays Off” is a
very true statement for this concept. This unbiased form of evaluation serves
to inspire employees to gain a great amount of determination to excel and find
success within their company. As a hard working employee, the benefits that
come along with performance should hopefully be enough to encourage workers to
give it their all. There are hardly any greater feelings that compete with the
feeling of being acknowledged for hard work. Having a positive employee
evaluation can lead to greater connections and relationships between managers
and bosses. This allows workers to gain helpful experiences and occasional
raises and benefits. Also, acknowledging those who have contributed to great
success can lead to further and higher titles within the company; this
essentially benefits the worker in numerous ways and it is also something that
can be included on resumes and can be carried over, helping them find
successful jobs in the future.
Furthermore, an additional benefit
is that by having the ability to compare employees on an even playing field
gives the business a greater understanding of the strong points and weaknesses
of the company. Overall, the company experiences the greatest benefits from
this process because they are able to create and develop additional goals that
can be implemented in order to lead the business to great success.
One of my greatest pet peeves is
when I am forced to work in a group with people who are uninterested in the
project and essentially too lazy to put forth any effort. Therefore, since I
wont allow them to affect my grade, I always end up doing the group work
myself. Unfortunately, the slackers tend to get credit for their lack of
effort; however, on numerous occasions my group members have not been given any
credit due to their obvious lack of participation. Don’t get me wrong, I am all
for helping those who are in need of guidance or help; however, doing projects
for others due to their laziness and lack of determination is unacceptable. It
is very rewarding knowing that those people finally did not get away with their
irresponsible behavior. I am sure this goes to people in the work force as
well; employee evaluations will provide evidence of those who are incapable of
performing at the company’s required level. This will allow the employees to
work with inspiring people and those who are working with a lot of the same
goals in mind.
