EVALUATING EVALUATIONS
Personnel Performance System Gets an OverhauIf you've been with TRC
for any length of time, you
are familiar with the routine.
At regular intervals of time,
your supervisor is required to
evaluate your performance.
The supervisor discussed with
you your strengths,
recommended improvement
areas and specific
accomplishments. You sign
the evaluation to indicate it
has been discussed with you
and then, it's placed in your
personnel file.
How useful this evaluation
process is varies, depending
on a number of factors. Are
you aware of all of the
requirements of your job? Do
you know what your
supervisor expects of you?
Are you being evaluated by
your actual job performance
or your personality? Will the
evaluation help you as you
develop your career?
T R C officials have
determined that there is a
better, more useful way to
conduct employee performance
appraisals than the system
that is currently in use. To
that end, the Commission is
beginning work on a new
evaluation process, announced
last month in a memorandum
from Commissioner Max
Arrell to all employees.
"In keeping with this
effort," the memorandum
stated, "we will also be
preparing functional job
descriptions for all classified
positions utilized by the
Commission. In each
instance, the description will
contain key job tasks and
measurable standards of
performance." The primary
objective of the new
procedure "will be to assist
each of you in developing to
your fullest potential in your
current position."Sixteen representatives from the field, Central Office and Disability Determina-
tion Division gathered in Kerrville last month for training in the new personnel
evaluation program. Pictured here are (left to right) Jenny Hall, Civil Rights
