Employee Evaluation Survey

Eliminate the Paper Work Associated with Employee Evaluations and Staff Reviews

Thursday, August 6, 2009 by Sherrie Mersdorf
Wondering whether you should start using an employee evaluation tool or how to do employee evaluations regularly instead of those yearly paper evaluations? Sometimes employee evaluations feel like a chore and extra paper work, managers and human resources professionals don't realize the potential benefit. Regularly conducting employee performance reviews offer a range of benefits:

Employees know and understand what is expected. It gives managers a chance to praise or provide constructive criticism for their work, which provides employees a chance to make improvements.

• Managers can reward employees and identify those workers in need of additional training or guidance.

Managers stay in tune with the needs/concerns of employees.
 
Even still, employee evaluations cause some extra stress for both employees and employers. Remember Office Space? The employees loved being evaluated by the Bobs.

While it may seem on the surface there's a lot of work that goes into conducting staff evaluations or conducting 360 degree feedback surveys, selecting an online employee evaluation tool or 360 survey software can eliminate a lot of the paper work for the HR department. After creating the evaluation once in your online survey tool (just like you have to do for yearly paper evaluation then make copies) you can collect all the same information without any of the data entry or printing expenses. You can even improve the experience for the managers completing the evaluation form by using various forms of survey question logic to ask important follow up questions, or hide irrelevant questions.

A good employee performance review example of how survey tools can improve the experience so managers dread it less is if your organization has different variations of the same survey for different departments or business units. Instead of having to manage and update several documents because you need to change one question in the list of employee evaluation questions that are shared across all evaluation forms, you can do it in one place. With one survey evaluation, you can use skip, branch and advanced conditional logic to show the variations only when appropriate.

The same idea can be applied to 360 degree feedback surveys. The 360 degree feedback example might change slightly depending on the role of the person filling it out. A manager may see a different set of questions than a co-worker. Again instead of having to manage these variations of the feedback form, you can keep it all in one survey online.
