Employee assessments are vital to the success of a business. They allow you to give praise for a job well done as well as point out areas in the job performance that are in need of improvement. For the good of both the employee and the business it is imperative to have these assessments on a regular basis. As much as possible, you want to make sure that the employee’s assessment is a thorough review of their job performance; this will allow you to clearly see where there has been improvement and what areas in their training are still behind. TBC Consulting has identified that CanGo would benefit from an improvement to their employee performance assessment. An improved method for performing these assessments will help CanGo communicate more effectively with its staff and further encourage growth for the employee and the company.
