• Understand and appreciate the importance of employee performance evaluation
• Be able to understand the parameters of evaluation so managers can decipher: What did we want from our employees? Where are we now? How did we do it?
• Be able to use the data acquired in the evaluation to plan: Where do we go now? How do we get there? What''s our next step?
• Develop a working template for quantifying original goals with existing conditions to provide the platform for the 'next step'
