  • hi,

    if u have to do 100% of job in 30days but u end up taking 20days off (for watever reasons)....how much % of job wud u have completed in 10days? 33.3%....i think thats 'Low Performance' by any standards.

    u dont work individually in any position. u HAVE to be a team player. ur attitude is more important than ur aptitude. if u cant help ur teammates, then that means there is something wrong with ur attitude. That also amounts to 'Low Performance'.

    And what exactly do u mean by 'Understanding Employees'? giving u a higher rating irrespective of ur performance just because of ur 'personal problems'?is that 'Understanding' to you?

    I think not. For such a low rating, under normal circumstances, u have to terminate an employee. But instead if HR has given u a low rating and kept u onboard, thats because it 'Understood' that your low performance is becasue of your 'personal problems' and hopes that you improve your performance next year.

    i think its high time u quit complaining and whining about HR.

  • Hello Rick. Can I ask why you want to compile a list. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of symptoms for the many, many different types of employees and the situations they are in. You could include kicking the table, frowning, playing pranks, and so on and so on. Symptoms can be grouped into two types:

    1. Outcomes – objectively measurable outputs resulting from the employee’s work. These include productivity, efficiency and accuracy measures.

    2. Behaviors – observable actions by the employee that may not directly impact outcomes but are required or discouraged by the values and policies of the organization. These include poor punctuality, aggressiveness, non-cooperation and so on.

    I ask again: Why do you want to compile a comprehensive list? Whatever the symptom, I feel it then fruitful to find out why the employee is behaving in that way or not performing. I recommend using my diagnostic flow chart do diagnose the cause of poor employee performance. It’s a handy tool for supervisors to use. You can see it at www.businessperform.com/html/poor_employee_performance.html I hope you find it useful.
