Evaluations
Evaluations
Each employee was evaluated using a Growth, Plan and Support outline (GPS). These evaluations were productive and helped me know which items could use more training and which items we were being successful in. The employee and I reviewed how that employee had grown, what qualities they had that weren't currently being utilized and how I, as a supervisor, would support their progress. This gave us direction in our one-on-ones and gave a platform for communication.
