Evaluation criteria are key parameters (working, behavioral, personal indicators and characteristics) by which the performance of an employee is evaluated. Evaluation criteria determine how each function and each action must be performed in order to meet the requirements of the company and customers.
Evaluation criteria are divided on various grounds, among which the following groups can be distinguished:
Organizational criteria (applicable to all employees of the company, for example: timeliness, completeness of duties, etc.) and specialized criteria (that is, corresponding to a specific workplace, type of activity);
Quantitative criteria (assessment based on results achieved) and quality criteria (individual characteristics of the employee and the quality of work);
Objective criteria (standards, quality and performance standards that can be set for almost any job) and subjective criteria (indicators and characteristics that are evaluated based on the opinions and assessments of experts);
Integral and simple criteria. If, when assessing, one indicator takes into account or combines information obtained as a result of evaluating various characteristics of work and work behavior, then such an indicator is an integral criterion. If, however, individual aspects of work or work behavior are being evaluated, such as the level of productivity or the absence of being late for work, then these indicators can be considered as simple criteria.
The choice of specific evaluation criteria depends on the categories of employees being evaluated and on how the results are supposed to be used.
The algorithm of actions in the development of criteria is as follows Uskova G. Assessment technologies: a review of modern methods // Kadrovoe delo. -2010. -№1.- P.5.:
1. a group of positions is determined for which criteria will be developed (according to professional characteristics);
2. essential factors of activity for these groups come to light;
3. The following criteria are evaluated:
o whether the selected criteria are really important;
o is there enough information to evaluate according to the selected criteria;
4. Criteria are described. You can only describe the criterion itself or in relation to the rating scale;
5. The criteria are grouped and ranked (that is, the weight of the factors influencing the result of the activity is determined). This is necessary in order to separate the main and auxiliary performance indicators of the employee.
As a rule, many managers try to identify as many significant factors as possible for personnel assessment, believing that in this case the assessment will be the most complete. But in reality, everything turns out to be far from the case. Evaluating all possible factors is time consuming and results in blurry results. To avoid this, it is necessary to evaluate the selected criteria, that is, to determine which criteria are most important and which are superfluous - this will save time and effort when evaluating personnel.
Evaluation criteria can be developed by the head and the HR specialist or jointly with the employees who perform the relevant work. In the first case, it is important that the line manager also takes part in the development of the criteria, since it is he who sets goals for the employee and evaluates the results of work. Joint development of criteria for the line manager together with employees has its advantages. Firstly, the criteria will be understandable for both the manager and employees, secondly, they will be more appropriate for the specifics of a particular job, thirdly, they will reflect, take into account the conditions and content of the work, and, finally, they will be accepted by employees. But it should be noted that the manager makes the final decision after discussing the developed criteria with senior management and personnel service specialists. Remember that general recognition and understanding of the evaluation criteria is necessary, so before the meeting, each participant needs to explain what the evaluation criteria are, why they are important and how they will be used in the employee performance evaluation process.
The development of personnel performance criteria should be based on one or more of the following documents: strategic plan company, clearly defined business processes, the mission and goals of the company, job descriptions, standards and regulations for the performance of work, etc.
It is necessary to focus on what is really important for a particular position, and determine the acceptable minimum of tasks and results that must be achieved.
After the evaluation criteria are written, it is necessary to determine whether they meet certain requirements. So, the criteria should be Uskova G. Have the requirements for the profession changed? Reconsider competencies // Personnel business. - 2009. - No. 7. -S.12:
1. Be achievable, which is necessary to get the job done.
2. Be objective and justified and not depend on who performs them (that is, they must be developed for a specific position, and not for a person).
3. Inform the employee about what specific actions and results are expected from him.
4. Correspond to the content of the work.
5. Motivate the employee to achieve the best results.
6. Align with the goals of the organization.
7. Be understandable and clearly linked to the most important characteristics work behavior and (or) the most important results of work.
8. Be dynamic, that is, they must develop and adapt to existing changes in the company.
Clear evaluation criteria help both the manager and the staff understand what is expected of their work. This understanding provides a basis for establishing feedback, provides an opportunity to evaluate personal perspectives, and contributes to the effective performance of each employee. In addition, the criteria allow you to determine how employees fit the organization and how the organization meets the expectations of the employee. Thus, the evaluation criteria will help to evaluate the employee's contribution to the achievement of the organization's goals, which enables management to make the right administrative decisions.
Evaluation of the quality of work of the company's employees is a powerful tool on the way to increasing labor productivity and business competitiveness in terms of the main financial indicator - the company's profitability.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of labor activity is comparative analysis, comparing the characteristics of living labor, presented as a standard. Such an analysis helps to develop both professional and individual qualities of employees.
The requirements for evaluating the quality of work include professional, qualification and business skills that determine how suitable the employee is for this type of work. That is why the assessment work force implies a deep and constant study of the quality of work in order to continuously develop it by changing, increasing and improving qualifications. It is not for nothing that economically developed countries pay great attention to the analysis of effective labor in the enterprise. Such a process is a major part of improving management and shaping the workforce.
The United States was the first to evaluate the effectiveness of labor activity. There it was called "merit assessment", and soon it began to be used everywhere in different countries peace.
IN Russian companies such a term is used to stimulate work - in the distribution of general bonuses among employees, but it is also used in calculating piecework income.
Performance appraisal is the process of establishing the conformity of the qualities and knowledge of personnel to the requirements of their position.
By assessing the quality of work, the following tasks are solved:
- Assessing the potential to promote and reduce the risk of quitting illiterate workers.
- Reducing training costs.
- Maintaining honesty among employees and increasing labor motivation.
- Organization of employee feedback on the quality of their work.
- Development of personnel development and training programs.
3 main goals of performance evaluation
Administrative. In order to make administrative decisions, an assessment of the quality of an employee’s work is carried out:
- Growth or decline in work.
- Job change.
- Prizes, fines.
- Direction for professional development.
- Termination of cooperation (contract on work).
Informational. By assessing the quality of an employee's work, you can determine his relative level of work, learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the quality of work, and correct your own behavior.
Motivational. Evaluation of the quality of work is the most important behavioral motive. Possession of information about leading employees allows them to be fairly rewarded. Based on research, regular and systematic analysis of the team has a positive effect on employee motivation, their professional development and growth.
From the foregoing, it follows that the assessment of the quality of an employee's work is a mandatory component of the accounting of all firms. This is practically the main function of managing a team, which allows you to determine the level of efficiency of work. An analysis of the quality of work allows you to find out what direct impact an employee has on the work of a particular part of the company or it as a whole.
Why do we need to assess the quality of an employee's work?
The concept of "quality of work" has two meanings:
- A general indicator of the professional complexity of work, which helps to build a tariff system of remuneration.
- The result of labor activity in relation to economic expenses.
The internal grounds for the need to assess the quality of personnel work are:
- extension of time for maintenance of equipment;
- prolongation of equipment downtime;
- increase in marriage percentage.
The external cause is considered to be customer dissatisfaction.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the quality of work is based on the results obtained through the control of quality management systems, their compliance with GOST standards. This focus improves customer satisfaction through the effective use of the quality management system, together with processes that continuously improve it. The rest of the standards turn quality management to improve the needs of all parties involved, which contributes to increased success.
The basis for the introduction of labor quality management as a public part of overall quality management is that the goals of employees and the goals of the enterprise must coincide with each other.
Thus, the worldview of employees plays a big role when it comes to assessing the quality of the work of organizations.
For this purpose, different motivational schemes are used.
External motives include:
- stable work;
- terms of the contract;
- career;
- salary amount;
- fines, bonuses and allowances.
Internal motives are:
- management evaluation;
- evaluation of colleagues;
- self-esteem and self-expression;
- desire to be responsible.
Nevertheless, the main problem of today's organizations is the lack of interest on all sides and the lack of desire to use intellectual resources. Therefore, it is required:
- stimulate staff;
- determine the correspondence of intellectual capabilities with job responsibilities;
- promote staff.
The basic principles of modern performance assessment include:
- understanding by the working staff of the requirements of quality work;
- the use of scientifically based decisions, which are made by analyzing all the information;
- distribution of tasks between responsible and professional employees;
- stable and general education;
- responsible management approach.
Increasing the quality of work is the main problem of organizations and enterprises in the industrial field, which requires joint efforts to solve.
What is the evaluation of the quality of work
Quality control of work should be introduced for each category of employees, but it is easier to evaluate the work of workers and more problematic - the work of specialists and managers.
The head of a structural unit is a concentrator who must identify and enhance the positive professional qualities of his subordinates. The success of this process can be judged by the following criteria:
- How quickly employees develop - the personal and professional development of employees will be a valuable contribution to the company's treasury.
- Do employees come up with new ideas? Feedback and taking into account the opinions of ordinary employees speaks of the literacy and foresight of the manager.
- Do employees know personal goals for the month - in order for a person to strive to improve his results, he must clearly know what is required of him and by what criteria his work will be evaluated. Planning work in the short term (for a week, for a month) is a mandatory task for the head of the department.
- Are employees afraid of making mistakes? Absolutely any useful work, regardless of the professionalism and diligence of the employee, is not immune from mistakes. They must be treated calmly. If the manager understands this, then a business atmosphere will reign in his unit, stimulating employees to take initiative. This does not mean that errors will go unnoticed. The employee must answer for every mistake, but in such a way that it does not discourage him from working, but, on the contrary, stimulates him to new labor achievements.
- Are the employees engaged? The most eloquent indicator of enthusiasm for work is work in the absence of a leader. If nothing changes, then people are really busy with their work. If, on the contrary, an imitation of violent activity occurs only at the moment of direct control by the boss, it can be said with confidence that there is no involvement in the work process and the leader is not an authority for subordinates in professional and personal terms.
- Do employees follow company rules? Corporate culture helps to organize the process of interaction between employees. The introduction into the minds of people of the need for internal rules and a dress code is the task of the director. This process must be approached sensibly so that corporate ethics is not a set of stupid duties, but a tool for rallying the company's team.

There are also a number of typical criteria used by most companies. This:
- Initiative and professionalism.
- Working coherence.
- Stability and high labor intensity.
- Knowledge of related professions.
- Participation in rationalized, inventive work, etc.
Do not disregard such criteria for evaluating the quality of work as compliance with safety regulations, knowledge of the business, attitude towards tools and equipment, quick wit, respect, reliability, cooperation and the ability to adapt. The criteria for assessing merit should be selected and justified on the basis of the methods of physiology and psychology of work, mathematical and other data.
The assessment of the quality of work performed is used at the enterprise in order to financially stimulate the team, and is carried out on the basis of statistical weighting of accounting, which characterizes the individual qualities of their group association. There are several such groups in which the share is distributed as a percentage of 100. For example:
- labor quality 25;
- attitude to work 10;
- skill 20;
- adaptability 15;
- reliability 10;
- production 20.
When an assessment of the quality of work performance is used to additionally reward, a point assessment of the level of work efficiency is used.
Various assessments of the quality of work provide for a specific number of points:
- 341-400 (excellent);
- 281-340 (good);
- 221-280 (satisfactory);
- 161-220 (bad);
- 100-160 (unsatisfactory).
Depending on the amount of points received, the employee also receives a bonus to his basic salary. If the employee received a good number of points according to the specified criteria, his allowance will be 5% of the salary, in the case of excellent indicators - 10%, etc.
How to create an effective system for assessing the quality of work
Evaluation of the work of the labor collective is necessary for the manager, first of all, in order to understand the quality of his own work and the ability to increase labor productivity. The assessment is carried out in two directions. The first is related to the professional qualities of each employee individually - how efficiently he performs his work. The second is the assessment of the relationship between employees and the effectiveness of teamwork. Are there pockets of tension within the team and what is it connected with? If this is the wrong organization of work, for example, gaps in the performance of any functions, duplication of duties, inconvenient channels for the exchange of information, these points need to be eliminated. If the problems are related to professional incompetence or personal enmity of employees, here it is necessary to think about retraining, rotation of personnel or their replacement.
The leader's task is to identify bottlenecks in the work of the team and their elimination. Thus, the quality of the leader's work correlates with the success of the team. The highest level of director's skill is to motivate employees to work in the interests of the team, and not just to satisfy personal ambitions.
To organize effective system assessment of the quality of work of employees, you need to:
- Determine the level of work quality for a particular workplace and how it will be evaluated.
- Establish a schedule for performance reviews (who, when and how often to review).
- Leave a number of people to carry out the quality analysis.
- Include in the responsibilities of the reviewers the collection of data on the quality of work.
- Communicate your assessment to the employee.
- Come to a conclusion and document the assessment.
With regard to the effectiveness of the level of labor, three main levels of assessment should be distinguished.
Assessment level |
Periodicity |
Method |
Possibilities of use |
|
Daily analysis of the level of professionalism (weak and strong traits) |
Once a day, once a week |
Filling out questionnaires on completed cases Summarizing |
Conducting a conversation with the person being assessed to modify behavior and educate |
|
Time analysis for performance of duties |
Once every six months or a year |
Filling out questionnaires on completed cases and the quality of work Personal survey Summarizing |
See the future and develop joint goals |
|
Potential analysis |
The only one permanent |
Conducting tests Assessment Center |
Creation of personnel forecasts, development of career growth |
An employee will be able to demonstrate professional growth only if his work receives a good assessment. And for this, both the leader and subordinates must act in the same coordinate system, that is, they must have identical criteria for the quality of work.
Criteria for assessing the quality of work of employees
Employee performance evaluation is based on normative indicators established at the industry level (industry standards) or at the firm level (company standards). The end result of the quality of work of employees will be the fulfillment of their established plans. Moreover, the manager must evaluate both each employee individually and the team as a whole.
Firm standards must always be higher than industry standards in order for the firm to be competitive in the market. Thus, the corporate quality standard serves as a kind of watershed between a high assessment of the quality of the work of employees and unsatisfactory.
Evaluation of the quality of work will be adequate if the manager, in addition to personal control, will periodically involve other people for this, for example, heads of other departments or higher authorities. Working in a closed team blurs the eye, and quality assessment can be biased.
Evaluation criteria must meet certain requirements:
- Time horizon planning. It is divided into two stages. The first stage is short-term - covers a period of time from one week to one quarter and depends on the specifics of the work. It is associated with the performance of a certain completed amount of work by an employee. The second stage is long-term - extends over a period of one to three to five years. This stage is tied to the life cycle of the company's development. Here, it is usually not the activity of an individual employee that is evaluated, but the work of the department as a whole.
- Financial implications of the results of the work. In some cases (sales department, production shop), you can simply calculate the balance: income-expenses. However, in some cases this approach is not applicable. For example, if you take the design department or the design department. In this case, only the costs can be calculated, and the profit from such work may appear only after a few years.
- Accounting for qualitative relative performance indicators. Each specialty has its own specific quality assessment. What is applicable to the work of a milling machine operator is not applicable to the work of an accountant. However, in each work it is possible to make relative estimates. For example, a job was done twice as fast as the same job last month, or a job was done 30% slower than a similar job in a nearby lot.
- Target assessment of professional results, tied to job responsibilities.
- Development of a system of quantitative indicators, reduced to a single calculation method. Such a system of indicators, as a rule, is in every enterprise, and it allows you to evaluate the quality of work in different periods of time and compare the results.
- Evaluation of the work of one employee should be carried out within the priority areas of the company's development and contribute to their achievement (for example, reducing costs per unit of output, increasing market share, improving product quality, etc.).
All criteria for assessing the quality of personnel work can be divided into groups:
1. Organizational and specialized criteria.
The overall assessment includes those indicators that are universal when taking into account the quality of any type of work: timely completion official duties, discipline, compliance with internal regulations and working hours, etc. These criteria are spelled out in the collective labor agreement and apply to all categories of workers. Another group of indicators is an assessment of the unique specific parameters inherent in each type of work and prescribed in the job description.
2. Quantitative and qualitative criteria.
For automated processing of the results of the quality of work, only quantitative estimates can be used. A manager may face this problem if he has to work with a large number of people. In an oral description, all the qualities of an employee can be described, but it is difficult to translate them into an automated form. To do this, it is necessary to develop assessments of qualitative characteristics in the range from “work done excellently” to “quality of work is unsatisfactory” and create intermediate divisions on this scale. Thus, it is possible to translate into numerical values such indicators that, at first glance, can only be assessed qualitatively. For example, the friendliness of an employee (a very important quality when working with clients), stress resistance (necessary when working in the claims department), the ability to think analytically (necessary for high-quality processing of large amounts of information), etc. After that, the boss can safely build a scale of necessary personal qualities for work in one place or another and use it to hire people. In addition, this form of work quality assessment allows the use of automated algorithms to create a team of people based on their qualifications, personal qualities and compatibility in the workplace.
3. Objective and subjective criteria.
The quality of work is a complex complex category, which consists of groups of simpler elements. Two large groups are an objective assessment and a subjective assessment. They differ, first of all, in their approach. An objective assessment can be made for a specific material quantity and does not depend on the identity of the controller. The difference in objective estimates can only be by the amount of the error of the physical measuring instrument. The range of such assessments is limited to the sphere of material production, in which a real product is created and which is regulated by the relevant quality standards.
The second group of indicators allows you to evaluate the quality of work, which cannot be measured in centimeters or kilograms, but nevertheless is very important for the development of the company. Here we are talking mainly about the professional qualities of the management team, including top management. The leader himself does not produce inventory items, but creates the conditions and prerequisites for their occurrence. How competently and effectively he does this can be assessed with the help of expert assessments. An expert is a person who has experience in working or analyzing work in a particular area of the economy and, based on his experience, can audit the quality of management of a particular enterprise. The fundamental difference between the method of expert assessments and direct measurements lies in its subjectivity, that is, the opinions of two different experts may differ.
4. Integral and simple criteria.
Performance evaluation may include one or more measurable parameters. Depending on this, the evaluation criteria are divided into simple and integral values. Simple values are used to average out a large amount of work or a large number of employees. For example, the length of the working day, labor productivity, the number of discipline violations for a certain calendar interval, etc. Working with simple criteria is reduced to the calculation of average values and is less often needed to calculate other statistical quantities (dispersion, distribution, etc.).
The reduction of simple values in combination with a given weight of each parameter gives an integral assessment of the quality of work. Integral assessments are necessary for a more thorough analysis of the quality of work performed. Simple assessments do not always make it possible to understand why certain processes occur. For example, in one shop of the enterprise more people work than in another, more working hours, and the number of products produced is less. It is necessary to find out the reasons for this phenomenon. What's stopping you from producing more? Thus, the manager proceeds to a more detailed analysis and looks at the professional training of employees, labor productivity, depreciation of the machine park, equipment productivity, etc. That is, simple indicators cannot be used here to answer the question of low production volumes.
An integral assessment may include a very large number of simple (primary) indicators, and each of them may have a certain degree of influence on the quality of work. The contribution of each element to the overall score must be taken into account by multiplying by a factor corresponding to its weight in the overall result. This is the task of the manager as an expert - to assess what is important for achieving the goals set in the department and how important and what is secondary. Another feature of integral indicators is that different components can be controlled to increase them. For example, to increase labor productivity, you can recruit workers with higher qualifications, you can increase the rhythm of work or reduce the number of downtime. Thus, the manager can compensate weak spots at the expense of advantages in other aspects.
By whom and how are criteria for assessing the effectiveness of work quality developed?
The director of the company, who reports on the work done to the founders, will be responsible for developing the criteria. The work on developing criteria for evaluation is usually carried out by the heads of structural divisions, as well as by specialists in personnel records management.
The quality of work, assessed with the involvement of line managers, will be the most objective, since they thoroughly know the specifics of the work of their department and the level of established plans and their implementation. In addition, the head of the department, knowing his employees well, should use their professional skills to develop criteria. This provides a number of benefits:
- Evaluation of the specifics of the work of a particular unit.
- The quality of work is checked based on the established practice in the company.
- Quality assessment work is understandable for simple performers.
- Engagement of staff and increasing their motivation to work.
The prepared draft criteria for assessing the quality of work is approved by the head of the company (general or executive director).
Employees need to be made very clear about the work they are doing to develop quality assessments so that they understand their meaning and the demand for non-performance.
The procedure for developing criteria for assessing the quality of personnel work is as follows (using the example of a sales manager):
- Determine for which positions you need to develop evaluation criteria. The sales department consists of a manager and sales managers. Consider the criteria for evaluating their work.
- Choose what knowledge, professional skills and personality traits significantly affect the quality of the performance of this official duty. For such work, communication skills, good knowledge of the subject of sales, stress resistance, etc. will be paramount.
- Rate the selected criteria in order of importance. Each of the criteria should be ranked in terms of importance, and after that, a ranking of their importance should be built. A large number of criteria makes it difficult to find employees, and also blurs the assessment of the quality of work. For an employee of the sales department, the criteria can be built as follows: communication skills, technical literacy, focus on results.
- Expand the criteria. Criteria should be written in a language understandable to employees. Otherwise, they will only cause opposition on their part. For example, such a criterion as communication skills is better described as "the ability to find an approach to the client and bring him to a conversation about the products that the company needs."
- Group and rank criteria. The last step is to group the criteria and make a list.
Methods and programs for assessing the quality of work of the entire team
By assessing the quality of the work of personnel, it is possible to ensure the adequate functioning of the entire enterprise and successfully solve production problems through the use of such methods for assessing collective work:
- Creation of norms and standards. The work is evaluated using established norms or standards and the labor characteristics of each employee are compared with these norms. This method is mainly used in production.
- Evaluation is carried out based on written characteristics. Typically, this method is used when preparing for certification, deciding on the creation of a reserve to replace the leadership and when making appointments and being sent to another unit. Such a characteristic is prepared by the manager himself for his employee. When compiling, you must use standard specifications that were established by the certification committee so that the established forms are observed, including those issues that need to be covered (for example, the need for advanced training and training, assessment of the employee's professional capabilities, labor achievements, etc.).
- Using the rating scale, managers can assess the level of development of business qualities among employees, what types of behavior at work they are more inclined to, what results they can achieve. This method uses special forms. The evaluation form (form) includes a number of scales that characterize various work aspects: the quantity and quality of work, professional knowledge, how professional skills develop, etc.
- Classification methods - methods for assessing the quality of personnel work, allowing you to compare employees with each other, and not just with the provided standards or norms. Such methods are characterized by ease of use, the ability to separate bad from good employees, provide information that is required to make administrative decisions (raise, fire, demote or promote, etc.). In turn, this method has several varieties: pairwise comparison, alternating and direct ranking.
- The predetermined distribution represents a comparative assessment that allows the manager to assign his employees to a specific category, based on a predetermined rule. Thus, the manifestation of performance evaluation depends on the law of normal distribution.
- Evaluation of work behavior is carried out when evaluation forms, which contain rules or statements, describe effective and ineffective types of behavior at work. However, the evaluation depends on a number of parameters that are related to the achievement of the intended goals or the completion of the work.
- The ability to manage goals, as one of the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the quality of work, is setting tasks for subordinates that need to be achieved in a certain time period (year, quarter, month). As a rule, this method is used in evaluating the work of managers and specialists in various fields. The ability to manage goals allows you to widely use objective indicators, such as: the number of claims, income in rubles, sales volume, etc. Among the main elements of this method are setting goals, summing up, evaluating the results obtained, ongoing monitoring and drawing up work plans.
Evaluation of the quality of work can be carried out using an open form. Open forms represent:
- Certification is an audit of personnel, which allows assessing how the human resources of the enterprise will cope with the tasks presented to them.
- Full assessment - the competence of the worker is built on the basis of the expressed opinion of superiors, colleagues and subordinates. This program, as a rule, works with questionnaires that offer to rate an employee based on a certain set of characteristics.
- independent judges. Independent members of the commission, which consists of six to seven people, ask all sorts of questions to the person being certified. This is similar to an adjacent interrogation in various fields in the work of the person being assessed. The judge has a special computer, where the evaluator displays the signs "+" for a correct answer and the signs "-" for an incorrect one. After the end of the process, a special program gives the result. It should be noted that such a survey can also be conducted manually, however, it is required to prepare preliminary forms for entering answers.
The implicit form is familiar with the use of "mystery shopper". This well-established and popular method provides a diagnostic tool for the quality of service and salesmanship. The main objective of the program is that a specially trained person makes a purchase in a store, and then marks the level of service quality on a certain form. The main advantage of this method is that the purchase is made with the help of a third-party organization, which is represented by a disinterested person, is not a friend, relative or employee, manager or owner of the Customer's enterprise and, thus, can provide an independent assessment of the quality of work.
Audit as an independent assessment of the quality of work of employees
Audit is a method independent expertise and analytical assessment of the personnel capabilities of the enterprise, a method of consulting support, which, together with the financial economic audit, shows:
- Does the personnel potential of the enterprise correspond to its goals and development strategies.
- Does the activity of the team and management structures of the enterprise comply with the existing regulatory legal framework.
- How effective is the work of personnel in solving the problems that face the employees of the organization, its management and individual parts of the enterprise.
- What causes contribute to the emergence of social risks (problems) in the company and what is required to resolve or reduce their negative impact.
Organizational and personnel audit includes an audit of employees, offering to analyze personnel processes and the structure of the enterprise.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the quality of the work of the team is the primary goal of the audit and is considered the main factor that ensures the profit of the company.
In management, the audit of the team is considered, firstly, as a method of analysis, like a financial or accounting audit, and secondly, as a control lever that allows solving any problem that arises in the field of working relations.
The object of the audit of employees is the working personnel of the enterprise, various aspects of production activities, methods and principles of team management at the enterprise. Personnel audits are carried out in the following areas:
- assess the personnel potential of the enterprise, the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the team;
- diagnose personnel processes and management procedures, evaluate their effectiveness.
The audit of personnel capabilities has one goal - to identify:
- whether the organization has the human resources necessary and sufficient for it to function and develop;
- whether the team of the enterprise can carry out effective work with the help of the chosen strategy.
To identify this, you must first assess the actual composition of employees, as well as the characteristics of the team itself, find important qualities and characteristics in subordinates for the implementation of professional activities.
Assessment of the quality of an employee's work includes:
- Conducting an analysis of the composition of employees according to the list of increase, education, gender and other characteristics.
- Evaluation of how the staff is staffed by degrees of management and in general, taking into account the assessment of the provision of the team with the technological process.
- Analysis of the conformity of the professional and educational qualification levels of the team, the degree of its preparation for the requirements of production activities.
- Evaluation of the quality of work of the manager and personnel to meet the conditions of technology and the distribution of positions.
- Analysis and verification of information on the use of working time.
- Analysis of personnel turnover and absenteeism, consideration of the dynamics and forms, possibilities for the movement of labor force, assessment of moving flows in the enterprise, the state of labor discipline.
- Estimation of the number of employees who are engaged in low-skilled or unskilled work, heavy manual labor.
- Analysis of marital status, work motivation, professional qualification growth, housing conditions, etc.
- Collection and evaluation of information on the degree of sanitary, domestic and hygienic conditions at the enterprise.
- Analysis of innovative, managerial capabilities of the enterprise team, its ability to learn.
In order to develop and substantiate recommendations, during the audit, it is necessary to study not only the qualitative and quantitative indicators of employees, but also the full functions of managing the team, with the help of which it is possible to achieve the interests of the enterprise.
An important methodological role in the audit is to conduct monitoring in the field of personnel - a scientifically based system of periodic collection, analysis and generalization of data on personnel and the provision of available information for decision-making (tactical and strategic) by the management of the enterprise and identifying an assessment of the quality of work.
The main source of information used in the course of personnel audits are regulations and laws in the field of labor relations and labor management, the performance of the enterprise, the results of interviews with employees and questionnaires.
What is the procedure for an independent assessment of the quality of work of employees
Stage 1. Preparation
The preparatory stage deals with:
- formalization of ideas for creating an audit, consideration of its goals, the necessary efficiency for the enterprise;
- selection of personnel (outside the enterprise and within it) to organize the audit, its training, if necessary;
- development of a document for the company (instruction, order), placing performers, tasks, persons involved in the verification, instructing participants and performers;
- development of a plan for delivery, collection and programs for evaluating the quality of work.
Stage 2. Gathering information
This stage represents the collection of information and verification of reporting, documentation, analysis of employees, observations, surveys, questionnaires, conversations with the team, processing of preliminary statistics, etc. Do not forget that it is easier and more convenient to analyze statistical and other data when they are stored and processed on computer equipment using modern information technologies.
Stage 3. Analysis of the received data
This stage deals with the processing and analysis of the received data and distributes them into tables, diagrams, diagrams, graphs and other forms of information provision. This stage also analyzes and evaluates the quality of personnel work by comparing it with similar successful enterprises, using FSA, peer review methods, and others.
Multifaceted and complex objects and goals of personnel audit allow the use of methodological tools for analysis and verification, divided into the following groups of methods:
- Organizational-analytical involves checking reports and documents, analyzes labor indicators that indicate the results of the enterprise and the team. However, the total number of performance characteristics highlights only those that most affect the profit (efficiency) of the enterprise, here are the characteristics of the use of the labor process, time, quality of work, labor productivity and pay for work. This information can be obtained through the company's documentation and reporting, the company's working stock balance, job descriptions and specifications, job descriptions, data on hiring costs, layoffs, etc.
- The socio-psychological method consists in conducting independent sociological surveys, questionnaires, collective and individual conversations, interviews with employees of various industries. This method allows you to better assess job satisfaction, attitude to work, collective relationships, work motivation, effective management performance and bonus systems.
- The economic method allows, by comparing the social and economic characteristics of the enterprise's activities with the help of legislative established norms and standards or average, or the best in the field of characteristics, to evaluate the following: the ability of the enterprise to compete in the labor market, the effective functioning of personnel services, how effective is personnel audit.
The final stage - the stage of providing and summarizing the results of the assessment, recommendations and conclusions, prepares the final document, which usually presents a report on the results of audits. This report may contain different possibilities how to improve the work of the team, introduce new technologies, change existing management procedures, etc. The same stage evaluates the result of a personnel audit, which consists, first of all, in the socio-psychological and socio-economic effectiveness of measures, rationalization of the organization of the work of the team, improvement of personnel activities in terms of personnel that were developed during the audit.
As a result, in a market economy, personnel audit increases the income of the enterprise due to the identification of intraorganizational reserves for increasing the results of labor and work of employees of the enterprise.
What mistakes should be avoided in order to evaluate the quality of employees' work effectively?
Mistake 1. Different standards set for the same specialty. Although in some cases, an experienced leader can play on this in order to bring employees to competition and improve performance.
Error 2. The similarity of beliefs and views is more of a personal factor. Therefore, it is necessary to abstract from it as much as possible when assessing the professional qualities of an employee.
Mistake 3. Evaluation of an employee on one characteristic. The quality of the assessment is determined, first of all, by the integral assessment, which is derived from the group of simple assessments by deriving a weighted average. The task of the manager is to choose the right balance of the necessary qualities for each employee.
Mistake 4. Changing standards during certification.
Mistake 5. Giving more importance to the behavior of the employee in the period immediately preceding the assessment. Allowance must always be made for agitation and deviation from the usual mode of behavior of a person before attestation or evaluation of his work.
Mistake 6. The leader must also avoid the other extreme - the error of "pressure of the past." The assessment must be relevant to the given time and position in question. If an employee has shown himself well at the previous place of work or in another position, then his qualities will not necessarily be suitable for the new conditions.
Mistake 7. Use of a narrow range of estimates. The error directly depends on the professionalism and life experience of the leader. Evaluation always has a certain degree of subjectivity, it is important not to put it at the forefront, but to focus on the professional qualities of performers or applicants. Inadequate assessment can arise both from the desire of the manager not to injure the psyche of employees and put inflated marks, or, conversely, from the desire to assert himself and, with the help of low ratings, show that he is the best the best specialist in their professional field.
Mistake 8."The halo effect". It occurs in an inexperienced leader when focusing on one bright feature of an employee. After that, the boss can no longer adequately perceive his subordinate and sees him only in the light of this feature.
Mistake 9. The desire to overestimate. One of the ways to increase employee self-esteem. Often leads to its dampening and lower performance.
Error 10. Comparing employees to each other. A very dangerous method. After that, employees working in the same department will become enemies, as the comparison of professional results smoothly flows into a war of personal ambitions and harms the work of the team as a whole.
Error 11. And you need to take into account the overload error. The work of evaluating your employees is a complex psychological process for a manager. Incorrect assessment reduces employee motivation and has a bad effect on common work team. The decrease in the quality of the work of the department is already a minus in the treasury of the manager's professional qualities. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the assessment of the quality of the work of your employees very carefully and without haste.
All these mistakes reduce the quality of the work of the manager himself, so you need to remember about them and periodically audit your work, avoiding these mistakes in the future.
In particular, it was said that any work has indicators of quality. Today we will talk about them in more detail.
For key personnel, the quality of work can often be assessed objectively. For example, for an industrial worker, quality is measured by the proportion of defective products, for an equipment repair service engineer - by the proportion of repeated breakdowns for the same reason, for a team of software developers by the number of identified "bugs" or the budget for their improvement. There are also some supporting processes in an organization where quality is objectively measurable. For example, the quality of a recruiter's work can be measured by the proportion of selected candidates who successfully pass the probationary period.
But there are also jobs where the quality cannot be objectively assessed or simply not advisable (too laborious and expensive). For example, an accountant, financial controller, legal adviser, marketing analyst, security guard, etc. But the quality of work is a key parameter that distinguishes one employee from another. One person can complete a task in such a way that there will be no complaints about the result, while another person has to constantly double-check, correct errors, and spend extra time. Quality is extremely important, and it is in any work. That is why the world is so widespread various systems quality management (QMS), lean manufacturing technologies based on total control quality, etc. If the quality cannot be measured objectively, it can be assessed subjectively by the manager, colleagues or external clients of the employee. However, subjective assessments carry some obvious risks. Thus, an employee may complain that he was evaluated unfairly, that the evaluator uses different criteria for evaluating different employees, that different managers have different and inconsistent evaluation criteria, in the end, that personal likes and dislikes interfere with the evaluation. In this sense, the main task of subjective evaluation is to ensure the validity, unambiguity and clarity of the value judgment. To solve this problem, the evaluation criteria and procedure are of particular importance.
Methods of subjective assessment
R. Henderson identifies 8 methods of subjective assessment that have become widespread in the practice of personnel management:- Employee ranking
- Narrative-descriptive review
- Evaluation according to a simple checklist (yes / no)
- Checklist with the severity of the parameters (may contain the weight of each parameter)
- Forced Choice Checklist
- Mixed standards table (usually used in the competency assessment procedure)
- Behavioral Anchored Rating Scale (BARS)
- Goal Management
Behaviorally Relevant Scales (BARS)
The essence of the BARS method can be briefly described as follows:- A specific aspect of performance is identified that needs to be evaluated. For example, "quality of service for an internal client" or "independence and responsibility in solving problems."
- For the selected aspect of performance, several specific patterns of behavior or behavioral situations are described, which are on an increasing scale from “poor” to “excellent” (various adjectives can be used to describe).
- Each gradation of such a scale is assigned a certain score or percentage.
The optimal number of points for a subjective rating scale is a problem that researchers are still debating. R. Henderson recommends using 7 ± 2 divisions. A well-known popularizer of this technique in Russia, A. Lityagin, suggests using scales with 5 divisions. In the practice of the consulting company Delphi Project, 4 divisions in the scale are usually used, as shown in the examples above. In view of the evaluation procedure proposed below, it is desirable that the scale contain an explicit indication of the average or expected level. The accuracy and validity of the further assessment will depend on the quality of the scale. When compiling the scale, it is important to consider the following recommendations:
- Scale division descriptions should be as specific and recognizable as possible for typical situations encountered in daily work.
- Descriptions of scale divisions should be as unambiguous as possible and should not allow double interpretations.
- Divisions should be clearly distinct from each other and not allow confusion of adjacent points on the scale.
- When compiling the scale, explicit value judgments, such as "often", "rarely", "many", "little" and so on, should be avoided.
Quality assessment procedure
Evaluation of the quality of work according to the BARS methodology involves the following procedure:CHAPTER 3
EVALUATION CRITERIA AND WORK STANDARDS
3.1. WHAT DO WE EVALUATE?
Any leader in his work is constantly faced with the need to
the ability to evaluate subordinates - to make decisions about rewards,
promotion, training, probationary results, changes in
pay or bonus.
It is easy for a leader whom the personnel department has “armed” with such
instrument as a validation procedure. Practice, alas, shows that in-
far from everyone has this tool, and its quality sometimes leaves the same
make the best.
The one who is unlucky cuts hours out of his busy work
schedule (no one canceled the plan!) and begins to evaluate the personnel of self-
worthy. “So - how are things with Ivanov-Petrov-Sidorov with the
job responsibilities, behavior, efficiency, compo-
tenacity, character traits, ability to lead, compliance with
discipline, initiative, responsibility, etc.? Perhaps,
still worth appreciating appearance, loyalty to the company, accuracy and accuracy
ness." The list can be continued indefinitely.
Alas, with this approach, only colossal
the cost of time and nerves, the likelihood of error, problems with further
reply to the subordinate’s questions: “Why did my neighbor receive a bonus for 3
rub. 62 kop. more than me?".
For those who do not have enough time to transform from a line manager
into a cannibal and a soul-lover (or a personnel manager), we propose an algorithm
employee appraisals.
1. We know what an employee in this position should do.
We know what are the key factors for this position. We select
evaluation criteria corresponding to key factors.
2. Describe the evaluation criteria. Since we often invest in one and
the same words have different meanings, it is useful to decide in advance on the rules of the game.
If we can, we introduce a scale from “very bad” to “very good”. Scale
we determine for ourselves - the scale can be at least two-point, at least ten
tiball.
3. We check how clear our criteria are for specific applications.
bot. (In this regard, I recall heated debates from my own practice
work in marketing regarding the questionnaire on consumer preferences for
towards fish products. Marketers tried to understand, enters
whether "product quality" in the top three criteria. Have you even seen
one person who says that he eats low-quality fish?)
If the criterion is unclear (“quality work”, for example, may include
deadline, creativity, etc.) or too complex (on-
example "achieving a positive result in a certain time"), its
should be broken down into simple criteria or more clearly described.
4. We minimize our efforts. Consider the criteria that are important for
this position and not very much (the latter should be abandoned), what information
we have the ability to assess the performance of an employee in this
criterion. We group similar criteria (namely, we group, and not pre-
rotate into one immense).
5. Once again, we evaluate the remaining criteria (are they understood enough?
ny) and bring the rating scale in line with reality (too
high demands are just as dangerous as too low ones).
The main thing in this process is to determine the key factors
for this position, compliance with which must be assessed in the
certification process.
It is quite a natural desire to evaluate at the highest possible
the number of criteria to "know everything". For example:
Subject of assessment:
* Communication skills.
* Creation.
* Leadership skills.
* Loyalty to the company.
* Discipline.
* Making decisions.
* Relationships with colleagues.
* The speed of work.
* Learnability.
* Accuracy.
* Fulfillment of official duties.
* Behavior in critical situations.
* Operational efficiency.
* Leadership skills.
* The level of achievement of goals.
* Competence.
* Personality features.
* Appearance and order in the workplace.
* ...
This list goes on. You just have to remember that with this
approach and the certification process can continue indefinitely. Required
we have to look for the optimal solution.
* Criteria must be important for this position, i.e. when
non-compliance with the standard of work according to the selected criterion, the work cannot
performed at the required level. For example, we would like to work
the person who cleans the office before the start of the working day had good
communication skills, able to work quickly, able to arrange
priorities. In fact, you can do without it. Much more important to
she was meticulous and meticulous in her work, completing the cleaning
by the beginning of the working day (we don’t care how many hours she spent cleaning
if she does not have a piece-rate payment), clearly followed the instructions of the supervisor
tel (who himself will prioritize cleaning), did not exceed the authority
whose and did not clean in the drawers of desktops.
* We must have sufficient information to evaluate the
selected criteria, i.e. have established performance standards (HOW
work to be done, e.g. number of rooms to be cleaned
for a cleaner, the beginning and end of the working day for evaluation by the criterion
"discipline") and have the necessary information to compare the actions
employee performance in relation to accepted standards. For example, we
we cannot evaluate an employee either good or bad according to the criterion “Skill
plan work" if we do not know how this planning is carried out by him
occurred during the period under review. Oddly enough, problems are more often
all arise with the availability of information. Insufficiently prepared
the line manager often does not know in detail what exactly and how he does
his subordinate at the workplace. Certification thus allows, with
on the one hand, to diagnose the shortcomings of the leader's activity, on the other hand,
on the other hand, to show the need to overcome such shortcomings.
To check the selected criteria, I would recommend filling out
the following short form:

In a large store, department heads were concerned that
information about what is happening in the departments through informal channels quickly
spreads throughout the store and becomes the subject of discussion
and gossip. At the seminar, they proposed to introduce such an evaluation criterion as

score on this criterion.
Earlier on manufacturing enterprises was much easier
lead certification. Industry norms existed and were available -
how much the loader should carry per shift, how much and what kind of products you
let a worker of a certain specialty and category, what area and with
what characteristics to remove the cleaning lady. There were time limits
production, maintenance, number, cost rates of physical and nervous
energy of employees, etc. That is, it was clear what to evaluate and how. Now
such rules exist, but they are of limited application. Norms
depend on the technological conditions of work, which can significantly
vary from company to company, especially given the continued emergence
new equipment and different working conditions. In addition, in a real
situations, not all companies can provide a rhythmic and planned
work. Therefore, the fulfillment of the norms by an individual worker depends not only
on how he himself works, but also on how the management provided
to him the “front of work” and how the accounting system was set up at the enterprise.

At the seminar we discuss how, by what criteria to evaluate the work

unloading equipment. In addition, due to the unpredictability of customs and non-
sufficient organization of dealers, the work is irregular
rakter - there are periods of downtime and "hands-on work" through no fault of the movers. In mo-
the moment of arrival and shipment of goods the main task is to complete as soon as possible
sew work. In this situation, the assessment of the work of loaders by the number
transferred kilograms seems impractical. Firstly,
this will require the introduction of an additional staff unit, whose tasks
swarm will include accounting for individual results of labor. Secondly, in
due to different dimensions of cargoes are inevitable or disputes,
or the need for additional calculations (it is unlikely that the costs
such calculations will be justified). Thirdly, the main task of loaders
is not the transfer from place to place of a certain amount of kilograms
mov, and the implementation of loading and unloading work depending on the
running machines. Therefore, during certification, it should be developed
a system of criteria that takes into account the speed of work, responsibility,
ability to work in a team, etc. The main “evaluator” should be
foreman who directly sees how loaders work.

At the preparatory seminar before certification, managers were
proposed to discuss this system. Here are some comments and suggestions

than the word "love". Professionalism also implies the presence of professional

call - fewer general words and more specifics. Then work bu-

* In the criterion "The ability to lead a team" there are very small
differences between ratings, especially between "4" and "5".
I proposed this set of criteria at open seminars for various
groups as an exercise. The task was set as follows:
in a simple way:

* Read the criteria below.
* What do you think about these criteria (how complete are they, are they

* What suggestions for improvements would you make?
* If you were evaluating employees in your organization, which criteria

understandable, but for our organization we would make adjustments to the description

where and when they are.
* In the criterion "Knowledge and compliance with internal norms and rules of the organization

group of employees that we will evaluate, this is not a significant

The effectiveness of the company's activities directly depends on how the performance of each employee meets the established requirements. The performance indicator is personnel evaluation criteria. These criteria help to identify personal (individual employee) or general (structural unit) reasons for low performance.
Personnel evaluation criteria is a critical feature that separates the satisfactory and unsatisfactory functioning of the team.
In order for the information obtained as a result of the audit to be reliable, performance indicators must be clearly thought out and adapted as much as possible to the specific goals of the organization.
Personnel assessment criteria are divided into four groups
- General organization and specialized.
- Quantitative and qualitative.
- Objective and subjective.
- integral and simple.
Organization-wide criteria apply to all employees, while specialized criteria evaluate the effectiveness of a particular position or workplace.
Quantitative criteria analyze the overall result of the work, and qualitative criteria individually characterize a particular employee.
Objective criteria evaluate the compliance of the work with the standards and regulations established in a particular company, while subjective criteria are based on the opinion of experts.
Simple criteria check certain aspects of labor and labor behavior (productivity, adherence to working hours, etc.), and integral criteria combine information from various characteristics related to the performance of the employee's duties.
What should be the criteria for assessing personnel
- Achievable (giving employees real opportunity work execution).
- Objective and justified (designed for a specific position, regardless of the personality of the employee)
- Understandable (the employee must have information and understanding of the content of his work duties).
- relevant to the content of the work.
- Motivating (the employee must be motivated to achieve better results)
- Aligned with the goals of the company.
- Linked to the positive characteristics of labor behavior and the most important results of work.
- Dynamic (able to adapt to changes in the company).
Who develops the criteria for assessing employees
The development of the criteria is the responsibility of the top management of the company and the relevant HR specialist. It will be useful to involve line managers, as well as employees subordinate to him, in the development.
The experience of the head of the structural unit is indispensable in the development of evaluation criteria, since it is he who sets tasks for ordinary employees and evaluates the result. Evaluation criteria developed with the participation of ordinary employees have the following advantages:
- take into account and reflect the content and real conditions work;
- as much as possible correspond to the conditions existing at the enterprise;
- accessible for understanding not only management, but also ordinary employees;
- are well received by the staff.
Finally, the personnel assessment criteria (even if they were completely developed by a working group composed of a line manager and employees subordinate to him) are approved by the General Director.
It is important to remember that if employees are involved in the development of criteria, then it is necessary to first explain the goals and objectives of the assessment, why it is important and how to affect the employee.
Development of personnel assessment criteria: step by step instructions
Step 1. Determine for which positions you need to develop evaluation criteria. Suppose you will evaluate the performance of sales assistants-cashiers. Further instructions will consider this case.
Step 2. Choose what knowledge, professional skills and personality traits significantly affect the quality of this job. For example:
- Discipline.
- Loyalty.
- The quality of the work performed.
- The scope of work performed.
- Professional knowledge.
- Leadership skills.
- Creative skills.
- The ability to control emotions.
- Ability to prioritize.
- Listening skills.
- Oral communication skills.
More doesn't mean better! Don't chase the number of criteria Some managers mistakenly believe that the more criteria you define, the more accurate your assessment will be.
In fact, redundant criteria not only increase the time for personnel assessment, but also lead to a blurry result. To save time and at the same time achieve an accurate result, we recommend that you make a table.
Criteria |

Scope of work performed |

An example is a cashier. Leadership skills, creativity and the ability to prioritize do not affect the performance of an employee's duties. These criteria can be immediately excluded from the evaluation.
Discipline, loyalty, quality and volume of work performed, professional knowledge and oral communication skills, on the contrary, are very important for this purpose. These criteria must be taken into account without fail.
The criteria in the “Desirable” column (the ability to control emotions, solve difficult situations and listen to the client) are not necessary to perform the functions of a cashier, but significantly improve the quality of his work. Therefore, it is also worthwhile to evaluate them.
Step 4 Expand the criteria. Describe briefly and clearly what is meant by each criterion. For example, "Discipline - do not be late, do not miss work without good reason, do not waste work time on extraneous matters." You can also give a description of each of the criteria in relation to the rating scale.

Step 5. Group and rank the criteria. It is necessary to arrange each criterion in accordance with its importance in order to determine the main and auxiliary indicators of compliance with the position held.
The criteria can be grouped as follows:
- Group 1 - "Performance of the main job duties." It includes an assessment of the quality and volume of the employee's work and professional knowledge;
- Group 2 - "Attitude towards work", including loyalty and discipline;
- Group 3 - "Communication skills", which includes oral communication skills, the ability to listen, the ability to control the manifestation of emotions.
Now let's do the ranking. It will look like this:
- Professional knowledge.
- The quality of the work performed.
- The volume of work performed.
- Discipline.
- Loyalty.
- Ability to make decisions in difficult situations.
- Oral communication skills.
- The ability to control the expression of emotions.
- Ability to listen to the interlocutor.
What documents to use in the development of criteria
Here is an approximate list of documents that should be guided by when developing personnel assessment criteria:
- job descriptions;
- business process regulations;
- strategic plan for the development of the company;
- mission and goals of the company;
- working standards, etc.
Evaluation of what criteria will speed up the work of warehouse personnel by 2 times
Maria Ponomarenko, Director of Smart Personal, Moscow
Previously, I was one of the leaders of a company engaged in black metal rolling. In the early 2000s, business profitability declined. Customers increasingly needed small wholesale lots, and we specialized in large wholesale sales. We decided to switch to the sale of small batches of metal, which required a complete restructuring of warehouse logistics.
Previously, metal was delivered to a warehouse in bundles (one type of metal in one bundle weighing 5–7 tons), unloaded by cranes into storage cassettes, and then loaded into trucks in the same bundles and sent to customers. The workers were interested in unloading and loading as many tons of metal as possible. After changing the strategy, when shipping metal from the warehouse, it was necessary to break the pack, take out and weigh the required volume, and pack the remaining metal and return it to the cassette. The complexity of the process has increased. It took the crew 30 minutes to ship one item. It became clear that if the speed of operations was not increased, the staff of workers would have to be doubled (it was 170-180 people).
The salary structure of warehouse workers includes salary and bonus. The premium began to be calculated on the basis of three indicators.
1. The number of wagons unloaded at the warehouse and loaded for customers.
2. The number of processed assortment items (previously, tonnage was used instead of this indicator); rates were introduced for each unloaded or loaded wagon and each assortment item shipped to customers.
3. Personal effectiveness, including four criteria. To avoid bias, each employee is assessed according to these criteria first by the foreman, and then by the foreman. To determine the indicator of personal effectiveness, all scores are summed up and multiplied by 0.01:
Kef \u003d Kots × 0.01, where Koc is a qualitative assessment of activity in terms of key parameters or competencies of the worker for the accounting period (the actual value of Kef lies in the range of 0.2–1.0).
№ | Qualitative Assessment or Competency Parameters | Minimum value | Maximum value |
1 | Compliance with safety regulations and labor protection standards | 5 | 25 |
2 | Technology Compliance loading operations, storage rules. Ensuring the safety of goods and means of transport. | 5 | 25 |
3 | Compliance with labor regulations. | 5 | 25 |
4 | Compliance with established standards of interaction and customer service. | 5 | 25 |
Here premium calculation formula based on three indicators: (B × S1 + P × S2) × Kef, Where
- B - the number of unloaded or loaded wagons per month;
- S1 - premium for each wagon (for example, 100 rubles);
- P - the number of shipped or accepted assortment items per month;
- S2 - premium for each position (for example, 10 rubles).
Thus, taking into account the individual performance of the employee, his bonus varies in the range of 20–100% of the rate. For example, in a month a worker as part of a brigade unloaded and loaded 100 wagons and shipped 650 assortment items, and his personal efficiency ratio was 0.9 (there were violations of the work technology). We receive a bonus of 14,850 rubles. ((100 × 100 + 650 × 10) × 0.9). In parallel with the change in the motivation system, work was done to ensure a more efficient layout of the metal, the optimal routes for the movement of cars in the warehouse were determined, etc.
