Results of the above BARS Assessment
The results of an evaluation done by my colleague were the following.
Quality of Work-3
The quality of my work is above the standard of those in similar positions. This means that there is little to be done in improving my quality of work, which is at a reasonable level.
Organizational Commitment-2
I can be relied on to carry out my assignments. The level of my involvement and identification with the job is on par with others in similar positions. However, this may be an area for improvement to reach higher levels.
Professional Knowledge-4
My professional knowledge in my job is up-to-date, comprehensive and exceptionally high standard. This is highly acceptable, and the emphasis is placed on maintaining

Step II: Identification of Performance Dimensions: This is where I came up with the five dimensions to measure the performance within the Human Resource field. The dimensions used were the following: the ability to learn, leadership, job-related knowledge, attitude towards technology, teamwork. These dimensions were later scaled regarding above average, average and below average.
Step III: Reclassifying the incidents: With my colleague, we were able to reclassify the critical events listed above, through the definition of job dimensions and assignment of each critical incident to the dimension that it describes the best.
Step IV: Assignment of the scale values to the incidents: At this stage, we were able to rate each incident on a one-to-three scale on how well it represented the performance on each dimension. Rating one described weak performance while rating all the three others represented a very efficient

Secondly, the BARS method acts as a tool of motivation for employees within an organization. Also, with the help of empirical methods used while comparing BARS to other traditional rating scales, for example, the graphic rating scale, it was found out that BARS contain more errors than other methods of appraisal. Other studies have discovered that BARS ratings are neither better nor worse than other scales, whereas some studies have shown the relative superiority of BARS on rating errors (Kingstrom & Bass,
You should describe how emergency incidents are graded by a selected public service call centre.
This has enabled me to communicate with confidence when interacting with staff, parents and the wider community. I believe that the key to successful interactions is based on my ability to communicate clear, concise and accurate information that is focused on the objective. I adapt my language to suit conditions and never allow personal opinion or aggression to enter my communications. I maintain a sound understanding of the issues being discussed so that I am able to state facts. I continue to provide efficient and high standards of customer service to our customers, including coordinating responses to escalated customer queries. Ability to interpret and apply departmental policies and procedures when
I can often count on you to complete task in an effective and efficient manner. Your ability to execute when needed makes you invaluable to me. Once the plan is in place you take the ball and run with it. I have also noted that when issues arise you can step out of that preferred role of execution, and offer constructive creative options. I would say you predominantly exhibit the traits associated with the role of executor in a team setting, however, I believe you do have the capacity to step outside of that predominant trait at any time accomplish the team goal. I think that versatility will benefit you greatly as you move along in your career.
In the interview, I used an occupational performance assessment to capture his perception of performance. The instrument which was majorly client-centered was to identify the various problems the client encountered in his professional duties. He rated the issues on a scale based on their importance. It is useful in assessing tasks that are deemed to be important as well as task analysis. The assessment was a five-staged exercise with a brief questionnaire which I filled as he gave his responses. Through this, I was able to know how well he could carry out his tasks and the desired routines. Also, I was also able to assess his capacity and his ability to tackle the challenges and difficulties he encountered in his occupation. Like other working
Next, for each of the identified risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, prioritize them by listing a “1”, “2”, and “3” next to each risk, threat, vulnerability in the “Risk Impact/Factor” column. “1” = Critical, “2” = Major, “3” = Minor. Use the following qualitative risk impact/risk factor metrics:
Step 5: For each failure mode, have the team assign a numeric value for likelihood of each occurrence, likelihood of detection, and severity.
An effective performance appraisal system strives for as much precision in defining and measuring performance dimensions as is feasible. Some of the major problems with the Darby appraisal system are:
The earliest appraisal systems, despite focusing on just one measure; quantity output, could perhaps be viewed as the most objective of all. Employees on a production line could be accurately rated on 'piece rate' or have their simple repetitive movements timed. As managers recognised the quality of work produced also affected an individual's impact on the organisation, and work output gradually shifted from directly-measurable physical activity to more complex tasks requiring the application of greater skill, knowledge and ability, more elaborate performance standards became necessary. Early performance management was highly subjective, allowing rating officials far too much personal latitude. It often included a supervisor's assessment of personality and character traits such as loyalty, honesty, attitude, initiative, cooperation, resourcefulness and ambition (Pratt 2001).
In order to achieve true business impact, Employers should be measuring 5 critical performance indicators:
Educator could use the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) used to establish a comprehensive occupational profile for participants (Boops, 2014) along with interview, if necessary. COPM can help educator to understand what are the important task of participants’ daily living. As well it can provide full scope of personal interests/occupations, values, beliefs, and spirituality.
Professional knowledge is no longer viewed as just consisting of a standardised, explicit and fixed knowledge base. It is now seen as knowledge which exists in use, is ethical in its use and is changed by experience.
Performance ratings is part of the performance and reward management system that used to support organisations’ personnel decisions in performance appraisal, promotion, compensation, and employee development (Yun, Donahus, Dudley, & McFarland, 2005). Accurate performance ratings are fundamental to the success or failure of the performance management process, therefore, raters have been suggested to be fully trained to minimise potential errors in performance ratings (Biron, Farndale, & Paauwe, 2011). Several rater training programs have been developed to enhance the quality of performance ratings, such as rater error training and frame-of-reference training (MacDonald & Sulsky, 2009). Nevertheless, not all rater training programs have been equally successful, many researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of frame-of-reference training in increasing rating accuracy (Woehr, 1994; Keown-Gerrard & Sulsky, 2001; Roch, Woehr, Mishra, & Kieszczynska, 2012). The following will assess the effectiveness of frame-of-reference training in increasing rating quality through comprehensive examination of its validity, accuracy and reliability.
Performance standards must be defined in a clear, realistic and understood measurement for to ensure that everyone involved knows how the performance is rated. This will ensure that everyone knows what the performance expectations in specific jobs are, how they are measured and categorized. These are often labeled as benchmarks, targets or goals.
Performance evaluation is a critical component to the success of many companies. Due in part to globalization, the need to evaluate performance and talent has become more profound. The available candidates are not restricted to geographic presence as they once were. Instead, competitors can arise from virtually anywhere in the world. As such, the need for effective tools to identify and subsequently train this talent has become more difficult yet rewarding. Below, are tools that can be used in performance evaluation process and how these tools can be effectively implemented.
The four dimensions of human resource management practices are: Managing The Human Resource Environment, Acquisition and Preparation of Human Resources, Assessment and Development of Human Resources, and Compensation of Human Resources as stated by Noe et al (2010). These four practices help companies deal with the competitive challenges (e.g. global, sustainability and technology) they are faced with.
