If performance appraisal is ever going to work, we need to write meaningful standards. GPS can teach you how.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

"Writing performance standards in this manner makes sense and I can see where performance will improve.  I know my employees want to perform at the Outstanding and Excellent levels if they know the requirements.  Now they will and I will have a usable tool to accurately evaluate their performance.  Thank you."

 

-- DHHS Supervisor

Since the implementation of critical elements and performance standards in 1981, GPS Director Robbie Kunreuther has been developing innovative options for evaluating government employees.  His articles on the subject have appeared in Federal Times, Government Executive, Federal Managers Quarterly, the Journal of the Association of Quality and Participation, and FedSmith.com.
