EMPLOYEE EVALUATION FORM
NAME: ___________________________________________ DATE: __________________________
DEPARTMENT: ____________________________________ JOB TITLE: ______________________
Purpose of this Employee Evaluation:
To take a personal inventory, to pin-point weaknesses and strengths and to outline and agree upon a
practical improvement program. Periodically conducted, these Evaluations will provide a history of develop-
ment and progress.
Instructions:
Listed below are a number of traits, abilities and characteristics that are important for success in business.
Place an "X" mark on each rating scale, over the descriptive phrase which most nearly describes the person
being rated. (If this form is being used for self-evaluation, you will be describing yourself.)
Carefully evaluate each of the qualities separately.
Two common mistakes in rating are: (1) A tendency to rate nearly everyone as "average" on every trait
instead of being more critical in judgment. The rater should use the ends of the scale as well as the middle,
and (2) The "Halo Effect," i.e., a tendency to rate the same individual "excellent" on every trait or "poor" on
every trait based on the overall picture one has of the person being rated. However, each person has strong
points and weak points and these should be indicated on the rating scale.
ACCURACY is the correctness of work duties performed.
