Writing Performance Evaluations to Achieve Meaningful, Sustained Improvement and Avoid Legal Challenges

Overview

While this webcast is open to all EIA members, some of the Eyres Law Group Services are only available to members of the PWC and/or GL1 programs.

Overview

Many managers and supervisors are writing performance evaluations without an appreciation of the legal pitfalls inherent in this process. Your public agency uses templates and forms for identifying performance objectives and writing clear, relevant and effective evaluations. Naturally, the focus should be on the substantive aspects of the employee’s performance during the relevant review period.

Finally, evaluators, and the HR and risk management professionals who support and guide them, should not overlook the critical risks for lawsuits or grievances when written comments stray into areas where the employee enjoys legal rights and policy protections. There are key subjects that must be addressed properly, or not at all.

Learning Objectives:

The topics that will be focused on in this webinar are:

  1. How to write clear performance objectives and model language to use in areas requiring improvement.
  2. How to measure whether performance improvement is meaningful and sustained.
  3. Specifics of Performance Improvement Plans, with an emphasis on how to assure that front line leaders stay “on track’ with their enforcement of PIPs.
  4. The legal and practical consequences of inconsistent approaches to performance feedback.
