Performance Evaluations
Performance Evaluation Process
All Emerson employees are required to participate in our performance evaluation process each year. The process includes two parts: self-evaluation by the employee and evaluation by the employee's manager. The employee and manager will then meet to discuss the evaluation and set the employee's goals for the next year. Human Resources will notify employees each year when it is time to start the process.
Smart Goals
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for the five qualities of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based goals. Using SMART goals can help you go beyond vague goals to an actionable plan for results.
| Specific | Who, what, where, when, how. Goals should be well defined and focused. |
| Measurable | Use quantitative or qualitative measures that express the exact performance goals or outcomes you expect. This allows you to assess progress at any time during the year. |
| Achievable | Goals should not be simply what the job requires; they should be challenging but reasonably attainable. The goal should stretch the employee’s capabilities. |
| Relevant | State intended results or outcomes, not activities. Be sure the performance outcome is in line with department objectives. |
| Time-based |
Determine the timeline for completing the goal or performance outcome: when the results will occur. |
Questions to help set SMART goals/performance outcomes
