Employee Assessment

Employee assessments are performance appraisals or reviews used to evaluate an employee's productivity, skills, and overall performance. These assessments measure various factors, including personality, aptitude, and technical abilities. They are typically conducted for purposes such as compensation reviews, performance improvement, promotions, or terminations.

Human resource management (HRM) uses employee assessments to monitor whether employees meet expectations and to identify areas for growth and development.

Common Methods of Employee Assessment:

360-Degree Feedback: A comprehensive evaluation process that gathers feedback from superiors, peers, subordinates, and the employee themselves.

SWOT Analysis: Analyzes the employee's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to identify areas for improvement.

Performance Interview: The final step of the evaluation process, where the employee’s performance is discussed in detail, highlighting strengths and addressing areas for improvement.
