Other Added - Conducting Performance Reviews
The fundament of any corporate culture is based on productivity. So it is the main productivity focus of a company that influences much of the corporate culture.To see this relation, just imagine an investment company. A company that is dedicated to investments either in mutual funds, venture capital or managing third party investments. The company’s main productivity focus is in dealing with risk -- exchanging risk between different partners. And this main focus will influence the culture of the organization. "Take risk, but in a calculated way," co

An annual appraisal should only be done if you have discussed monthly employee performance with the employee. As managers, as leaders, we owe it to our employees to help them develop their talents. It’s good for them, it’s good for us and it is good for the company. We need to make an individual commitment to every one of our direct reports that we will spend a minimum of thirty minu
We all know how difficult and expensive it is to advertise your contracting, interior design, or remodeling business locally. A tiny yellow pages ad in your local phone book can cost many thousands of dollars per year. Most small contractors, framers, plumbers, painters, etc. can't afford this type of advertising and still make a living. If you choose to take the plunge and take out a yellow pages ad, all your competition is right there above, below and beside you. Now why would anybody choose your little ad over somebody else's big color ad? Radio and TV a
“I have nine reviews I have to get done by the end of the month. I feel more pressure about completing the review than I feel an obligation to the employees to let them know how they are really doing. How I can help them.”
Additionally, since you only do one review a year, chances are you base your judgment about the employee’s performance on the last two months or so. If the employee happened to have done something wrong during that two month period, they get a poor review. Conversely, if they did everything right in those two months, they get a good review. A good review even if they performed very poorly throughout most of the year. Is that really justice? Follow these guidelines when conducting your reviews:
Situational Guidelines
Objective: To maintain or improve good performance in employees by providing specific performance feedback.
• Assumptions of employees are about getting “in trouble” so there is a tendency to be defensive and avoid issues.
• Physical surroundings can offset nervousness of both parties.
• When evaluating performance, four areas must be considered:
o Actual performance (numbers, results, etc.)
o Conditions of performance (market change)
o Your managerial support provided
o Attitudes, values and feelings demonstrated
• As a manager, you have prepared for the discussion with written notes (i.e. critical events file) and have spent 20 quiet minutes before the meeting on your objective.
• You should have a handwritten objective about employee beliefs and conclusions at the end of the meeting.
• The most critical part of the appraisal process is establishing your managerial intent:
o The objective stated above
o Your desire to be helpful
o Your responsibility for problems
• The key success criterion is that both parties feel better.
• Feedback on performance areas of concern is constructive only when:
o It is future focused
o You don’t ask “Why?”
o You itemize merits as well as concerns
o You provide alternatives
o You apologize for delayed feedback
• The action plan developed must have dates and expected results which include:
o What the employee is going to do
o What you are going to do to help
o What training will be provided

It is no longer a question in the medical billing community of what the best method of sending claims is. Electronic billing has numerous advantages over sending paper claims including ease of transmission, lower cost, faster turnaround time and a number of other advantages. But what about the type of electronic format? The main ones today are NSF 3.01 and UB-92. So what's the difference and is one better than another? Which one should you use? Does it make a difference? Will using one format over another give you more headaches in the long run? In

When people think of advertising, the first options are usually television, radio, newspapers and billboards. It never comes across the person’s head to use balloons, which happen to be the cheapest of all these methods.Why? Perhaps because these balloons are often regarded as accessories in birthdays, parties and other company functions.But do people know that the first balloons ever built were used as bombers or as the first passenger airliners in the world? These may have happened more than 60 years ago but there are people who use this now

Business merchant accounts are critical to have if you want to accept credit cards. Business merchant accounts are not limited to those computer consultants reselling products either. They are a good idea for any sale, especially when you are selling to new clients.If you have a business merchant account you will not have to chase down outstanding debt. The cost is not that high and you don't have to buy traditional credit card processing equipment. Now they have what is called a lab terminal, which allows you to use your web browser to manage the

An annual appraisal should only be done if you have discussed monthly employee performance with the employee. As managers, as leaders, we owe it to our employees to help them develop their talents. It’s good for them, it’s good for us and it is good for the company. We need to make an individual commitment to every one of our direct reports that we will spend a minimum of thirty minutes per month discussing their performance. What they are doing well and what they need to work on. A simple four by six card noting your discussion thrown into their file provides tremendous insight when it comes time to do their annual review. (e-mail rick@ceostrategist.com for a sample card form) We now have twelve individual documented discussions to refer to when completing their review. It also will show their progress. How they follow direction. What kind of support, training, mentoring or coaching that has taken place over the course of a year?
Tips on Performance Reviews
• Be fair and objective by assessing job performance against pre-determined job-related performance standards.
• Involve the employee in the development of the action plan.
• Include specific and measurable goals with action plans on how to reach them. Set time frames to review accomplished goals, identify possible obstacles and identify ways to overcome them.
• Encourage feedback from your employee.
• Review a summary of your feedback by beginning with the employee’s strengths and then tactfully move into the weaknesses.
• End the review by summarizing the action plan for improvements, so your employee clearly understands what’s expected of him or her. End on a positive note and set a date for the next review.
Remember, employees are your most precious asset. Respect them, train them, coach and mentor them, trust them and they will create competitive advantage for your company.
