Development of performance standards
Performance factors tell employees what to do, while standards tell employees how good they should be. In the first article in this series, we have defined and identified the characteristics of additional important and non-critical performance factors. This article outlines the principles for writing good standards for employees to effectively evaluate the performance of these factors.Justice
Performance standards are executive-approved representations of performance thresholds, requirements, or expectations that must be met to evaluate at a particular performance level. For each important factor, you must establish and include standards that are completely successful (or equivalent) in employee performance planning. If the evaluation program uses different performance levels, instead of writing standards for these levels, include Tems in the performance plan to encourage employees to know what to do to meet standards above full success.General action
Performance standards must be objective, measurable, realistic and clearly stated in writing (or otherwise recorded). Standards must be written in the form of specific measurement devices for which performance is being evaluated. To develop a specific measuring device, you must first determine the general key figures that are important for each element. Common measuring devices for measuring employee performance include:Quality indicates how well the job is performing and/or how accurate and effective the final product is. Quality represents accuracy, shape, usability or effectiveness.
The amount represents the amount of work produced. Quantitative measurements can be expressed as an error rate (e.g., B. Number or percentage of errors per unit of work or typical result achievable when setting quality or quantity standards A fully successful standard is high enough to challenge, but actually achievable It shouldn't be too high.
Timeliness indicates how quickly, when, or on what date the job is produced. The most common mistake when setting up the latest standards is not tolerating error rates. Like other standards, timely standards need to be set realistically in relation to the performance needs and requirements of other organizations.
Cost effectiveness aims to save money on the government or work within the budget. Cost-effectiveness standards should generally be based on specific resources (money, manpower or time) that can be documented and measured by the agency's annual budget. Cost-benefit standards can include performance aspects such as maintaining or reducing unit costs, reducing the time to manufacture products or services, or reducing waste.
For each element, determine which of these common gauges is important to the performance of the element by asking the following questions:
- Does quality matter? How well are the stakeholders or customers doing?
- Is the amount important? How many products do stakeholders or customers produce?
- Need to reach the item at a specific time or date?
- Is it important to run items within certain cost limits?

Element: guidance and technical support
It's full of successful standards in an evaluation program that evaluates elements in 5 steps (to meet these standards, all bullets listed must be present or present).3-8% error per quarter as determined by the supervisor.
More than 60-80% of customers agree that the information that employees are willing to help and receive is helpful.
The staff will respond to customer inquiries within 1-8 business days after receiving the initial request.
(If this standard is written for an evaluation program in which the item has been assessed in only 2 steps, the standard will be "error of 8% or less per quarter", more than 60% of customers agree and become "up to 8 tasks". Time has passed.")
Element: Team Participation
It's full of successful standards in an evaluation program that evaluates elements in 5 steps (to meet these standards, all bullets listed must be present or present).Managers and team members
- In general, a group project requires a reasonable amount of work/responsibility.
- In general, it indicates that you are willing to do other things if necessary. and
- In general, knowledge of office operations/equipment is shared with other team members.
Elements: analysis results and specifications
It's full of successful standards in an evaluation program that evaluates elements in 5 steps (to meet these standards, all bullets listed must be present or present).Research managers are routinely convinced of:
- This method measures that variable.
- The results are relevant.
- This method is scientifically sound.
- There are well written protocols.
- This method is accurate, accurate, reproducible, fast and inexpensive.
