Information

Request/Subject

To update the Board of Supervisors on the performance appraisal project and present a potential solution using employee performance appraisal software.

Background Information

The employee performance appraisal system Gila County has used for the past several years has been discussed during former review processes. The current employee performance appraisal system is very general in nature and the Board of Supervisors, as well as Elected Officials and Division Directors have requested an updated system that is more specific in nature to the employees’ job descriptions. Along with a system that is more specific to the employees’ duties, it needs to be able to store information during the year to keep up with employees’ progression for the evaluation timeframe. Many times, an employee is graded on the most recent information or event that has taken place because there is not a system to keep track of all that has happened during the year. In addition, a system also needs to address grading soft skills, such as customer service and behavior.

Evaluation

After looking into employee performance appraisal systems, the Admininstration Team found a performance software that would be able to meet all the criteria discussed.

Conclusion

Changing to a performance software system would allow Gila County supervisors to track their employees’ performance, training, goals and discipline throughout the year, so that the supervisor would have access to all information when preparing the employee's performance appraisal. It would also allow the supervisor to meet with their employees throughout the year to discuss their progress. In addition, it would allow the employee to post information, such as training certifications and goal completion to their individual accounts so the supervisors would be updated immediately when there is a change.
