The review is an important tool in the overall performance management process and in the development of the employee’s professional skills.
Formal Reviews are done semi-annually. Formal facility inspections are completed each monthly (or as required), Work performance is documented and reviewed with the employee. These inspections are then used in the employees’ semi-annual review. Communication about performance, development goals and standards take place regularly. The supervisor’s role in training the employee to achieve successful performance is key.
