Sovereign Bank handles employee evaluations in a, in my opinion, remarkable way. Not only do supervisors and managers evaluation the performance of their respective departments, but their departments evaluate them!

Here are some of the benefits I see in this type of 2-way evaluation:

• Constructive Criticism

  In any type of department, no matter how happy they seem, team members will bad mouth not only management, but each other. It’s unavoidable. Joe isn’t pulling his weight, Max is a jerk most of the time, or whatever else someone can think of to complain about… will be complained about.

  Opening performance evaluations to the team allows you to uncover these underlying issues in a professional, maybe even friendly, environment where areas for growth can be identified and presented positively.

• Proper Credit

  In a team environment, many people share in the glory of success and the sting of failure. Typically, however, there are a few individuals who really shine in a given project whose contributions may be overshadowed by the team. It’s the responsibility of management to stop this from happening, but no matter how vigilant, details will be missed and accomplishments will go overlooked.

  When the entire team can evaluate each other these accomplishments reach are identified to make sure the team member responsible receives the credit they deserve.

• Team Spirit

    Bored by your Job? Consider Developing a Portfolio Career
    Very few of us are born knowing what we want to be when we grow up. Often we end up in a job seemingly by chance, doing what someone else – a teacher or parent - thinks we would be good at. Or we do something because we find it easy and drift from school to college, taking our bes

  • Team Spirit

    In many organizations, they “say” they foster spirit of team where everyone is of equal importance in reaching company goals. Yet, how many organizations put their management on a pedestal where they aren’t evaluated by their department members? Is this really the behavior of a team… or a dictatorship?

    Allowing team members to evaluate their leaders is essential to growing a sense of team where everyone is equal and no one is of more valuable than the other.

  There are other benefits to this type of evaluation, but I believe these are the strongest. By breaking down the walls that surround our team, we can build stronger ones.
