Project details

What we need
  • A documented process outlining how to administer a top-down, peer-to-peer, or a full 360 employee review process
  • A communication plan to share the process with others in the Organization to help them understand the approach and desired outcomes
  • Recommendations on tools that can be used to collect feedback (anonymous or identified) and organize quantitative and qualitative results
  • Best practices for rolling out the performance reviews, and coaching advice for managers and individual contributors
Additional details

We are a small non-profit (6 employees) and need to implement/update our year-end review process. Currently the review is not outcomes and deliverables based. Need process to identify and discuss strengths and weaknesses to prepare for upcoming year.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a not very good template, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have previous years review documents we can discuss, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,866 , allowing us to increase communication and spend these dollars on programs

Staff, board and management are disappointed with the current process. It's ineffective and essentially is a walk-trough without benefit to the organization.

Testimonials

Darlene made the process efficient and productive; she listened closely and delivered a final product within two drafts. I wanted a non-numeric rating system that would require the employee and manager to be more thoughtful in their review. She saved us time and money - something that's in short supply with most non-profits. Thank you Darlene!

Scott was such a pleasure to work with: clear on what he and his organization needed, had reference materials handy and sent to me right away. He was thoughtful about his feedback so that we could finalize the appraisal a very smooth and efficient process. Loved working with Scott.
