1.3.24 Employee appraisal on target agreements

Goal and purpose

The management holds regular discussions with the medical staff on career planning and the agreement of project goals. The meetings serve to provide information and feedback on the progress and status of the medical staff member's further training. Training and further education, integration into the working group and further professional development should be harmonised and planned, and new priorities should be addressed. Employees are given the opportunity to formulate their ideas, goals and wishes. Emphasise individual aspects in the task definition and mutual transparency of expectations.

Application

The interviews with medical staff are conducted by the director of the department, with nursing staff by the head of nursing and with other professional groups by the senior physician responsible for personnel. Staff appraisals in the nursing service follow the instructions for "structured staff appraisals". The meetings are held at least once a year.

Description of the

Content of the appraisal interview

1. Level of training or further training with regard to diagnostics and therapy
2. Summary of performance in the past period
3. Planning of scientific activities.
4. Ideas about your own professional development
5. Problems working with other employees
6. The department management's objectives are explained.

Both dialogue partners should common Formulate goals. During these discussions, wishes can be expressed by both sides. There is room for constructive criticism here. The employee appraisals do not have a controlling function; rather, they are intended to offer all employees an opportunity to express their opinions and to further develop their skills in line with the departmental objectives. The content of the appraisal is based on the appraisal protocol (see appendix) and addresses not only the changes that have taken place but also the goals that have been achieved. It is important to analyse why some targets were achieved but not others. New goals are agreed.
