How I do Staff Evaluations

I use this form when I perform an annual staff evaluation. I have every staff person complete the form on themselves and attach their goals for the previous and upcoming year.  These documents provide the talking points for the eval. Afterwards, I compile a one page written evaluation I give to them.
