14.PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania has a policy of reviewing each employee’s work performance on a regular basis. A performance review is designed to provide each employee the opportunity to rate and discuss their current job and future goals with their manager. It also provides the manager with an opportunity to measure the performance of each employee in an objective manner. Such a review will enable the manager and the employee concerned to identify areas for improvement and set future goals.
Please note thata performance review is not a forum for raising issues of a disciplinary or misconduct nature.
Performance reviews are to be discussed with the employee then signed by the employee and their manager. The original is retained by the manager and the employee is to be provided with a copy for their own records. A copy is also to be forwarded to the General Manager for filing and information.
For the General Manager’s position a ‘360-Degree’ performance review will be conducted which provides a multi-source means of assessment. This entails gathering the views and/or ratings of Dogs’ Home staff (as deemed appropriate by the TCDL Council) and TCDL Council members. This review is facilitated by the Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania President or delegate.
How can I prepare for a performance review?
• Read through your Statement of Duties and make notes as you go
• Think about and write down what you have achieved since your last performance review (or before your first review):
• Think about the following to help you prepare (but do not use as a standard format – there may be other things you wish to discuss):
- what aspects of my job do I enjoy the most? - what aspects of my job do I enjoy the least?
- what changes do I think would improve my effectiveness? - what aspects of my work need improvement?
- how could these changes be implemented? - what have I done to implement these changes?
- what are the goals I would like to achieve in my position? - how would I do this?
- is this realistic?
- what expectations might my manager have of me? - what are my long term plans?
- how can I start preparing myself for this? - in what areas do I need further training? - what are my training needs?
- what training and development have I undertaken?
- have I been responsible for updating my knowledge about work related policies and procedures?
- how can my manager or co-workers help me?
