Question of Performance Review <br />Current Policv: <br />Approximately three years ago, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission directed staff to <br />conduct employee reviews on an annual basis. Staff has been doing these reviews on an annual <br />basis using the attached form. <br />Proposed Policv: <br />Performance reviews are an opportunity for employees and supervisors to assess an individual's <br />job performance and determine what needs to be done to allow the employee to succeed. The <br />performance appraisal system is designed to: <br />• Motivate and develop employees to their fullest potential; <br />• Clarify roles and mutual expectations of supervisors and employees; <br />• Promote open and ongoing communication between employees at all levels, including <br />feedback from subordinates to supervisors; <br />• Assist in determination of whether employees are meeting the established performance <br />standards for their position. <br />Performance review forms will be signed and generally maintained in the employee's personnel <br />file. <br />Employees may be reviewed formally or informally at any time. An employee's immediate <br />supervisor or department head normally will conduct a performance review on an annual basis, <br />and may conduct performance reviews more frequently if necessary. The performance appraisal <br />usually will be in writing and must be signed by the employee and supervisor. <br />~~w <br />
