Review Process

The review panel conducts most of the review for a member of the staff collective. The panel is nominated by the HR committee and approved by staff. It is generally made up of 2 to 3 people.

After the panel has been formed, it is responsible for conducting the rest of the review. The review is a chance for the collective to give the reviewee praise for a job well done, as well as a fact-finding mission and problem-solving session if there are issues for the reviewee to work on. The reviewee should come out of the review with a set of goals for the next year.

Step-by-Step

The details of the collective member review process look like this:

1. The HR committee nominates 2-3 people to comprise a review panel. The staff collective discusses the nomination at the next staff meeting, makes changes if necessary, and OKs the decision. The review panel is then responsible for seeing the rest of the process through.
   • The review panel should be made up of people who work pretty closely with the person being reviewed.
2. The review panel creates a review form for the reviewee.
   • The form should include the goals created for the reviewee in his last review as well as general questions asked in every review.
   • The general questions, as well as examples of complete forms, may be found in the /usr/local/fgstaff/reviews directory on obsidian. The individual's goals are located in the directory named after the individual in the /usr/local/fgstaff/reviews directory on obsidian.
   • Use the set of goals created most recently to make the form.
3. Each collective member receives a form 2.5 to 3 weeks before the scheduled sit-down part of the review, and must fill it out.
   • The reviewee must also fill out a form for him or herself.
   • Names should be included on these forms. If answers are illegible, need clarification, or should be written in a more constructive way, the panel is responsible for returning the form to the appropriate person for changes.
   • Forms are returned to the review panel long enough before the review that the panel can tabulate the results (at least a couple of days).
