Performance Reviews
US Army Recruiting Battalion, Hbg

More than 90% of federal supervisors have no idea how to do a performance appraisal. The actual essential job duties are not classified correctly. The Position Descriptions are vague and ambiguous unrelated to the actual job duties essential and non-essential.
Supervisors hand out awards with vague references to superior performance without showing how they exceeded the essential duties. These are accepted by civilian personnel agencies without question. Reason; Each agency is give "X" amount of award money. They know if they don't spend it, they'll get less next year. So employees have come to expect awards annually, so long as they keep their mouths shut about Federal regulatory violations. I have flyers from both the DLA Installation & Letterkenny Army Depot admitting their knowledge to these failures.
Constructive Performance Reviews

After my last performance review I went back to my supervisor's office and told him that the review had not gone well from my perspective. I told him that it was obvious that I need to light a fire in a couple of areas and yet he made more excuses for me than I did. I suggested that he consider what might make these reviews more constructive. Instead of saying "what you are doing is fine" he should be saying "what you are doing is fine so far as it goes but I expect to see you accomplishing ... by your next review."
His problem is very understandable. He has so much on his own plate that it is difficult to stop and think through his expectations from his subordinates. He seems grateful for any help he can get in just getting his own assignments done. I am fortunate to have the supervisors I have. When one has good management one tends to want to do more. They need to define what they need better.
We Developed the Performance Discussion Guide

We are delighted to see that the AO (EPA's Office of the Administrator) Performance Discussion Guide is featured in this article.
This Guide, developed in July 2002, by the AO Performance Evaluation and Feedback Workgroup, led by Betsy Shaw and Anna Raymond, was created to promote meaningful dialogue between AO employees and supervisors about performance and career development. The Guide is now part of the Agency's guidance to managers, supervisors, and employees on providing feedback under the Performance Appraisal and Recognition System (PARS).
This Guide is just one of the products and services which has been developed as part of AO's Quality of Work Life Initiative. The Initative began in the Fall of 2000, when AO managers and employees participated in an initial assessment of AO's working conditions.
We recently updated the Guide to reflect EPA's new performance appraisal system. We can send you this revised version.

I'd also like to see the website link for this guide. I work for EPA and I've never heard of it.
Can't wait for the next article

Mr. Opperman scores another hit with this article. I am looking forward to reading future installations.
I have personally handled 3 "PIP's" (performance improvement plans), and the success of an employee in rising to the expectations seems to directly correlate to the manager's preconceptions as to whether it is even possible. Kudos to the NGA and DOD writers (On the Right Track comment above) who encourage managers to begin with complimenting the successful aspects of performance. I will add that advice to my own handout for supervisors.
