3. Compare with BEI interview data

BEI Summary Chart

This is a difficult process to learn because there are so many different ways the process can be done. I ask for help whenever it is unclear.

 I must meet deadlines. I use charts to keep things on schedule.

I must provide thorough explanations, anticipate problems and understand the long term impact of errors.

10% of my customers do not deal well with regulations. I try to treat them just the same - with patience - and explain in lots of detail. I work hard at not showing frustration.

Sometimes people want something tomorrow. I devote a particular day to purchasing - if they miss that and come to me, I evaluate the level of importance to determine if I should set aside other tasks.

I talk with people in different departments to promote better practices. I explain to them the consequences of current actions.

Short and sweet with focus on job goals.

Formal performance evaluations will be conducted during a time frame established by the Manager.

Department supervisors will meet with each employee to accomplish the following: review the job description for any changes; review the goals established the previous year; discuss strengths, weaknesses and particular challenges in the job; develop goals for the upcoming year.

Additional assessments may be conducted where employee performance indicates the need for follow up and additional documentation. Note: performance review will focus on coaching and feedback. Where performance problems negatively impact the workplace, they will be addressed through the disciplinary procedures and disciplinary counseling.
