Fifth Friday Review Brainstorm

Ideas From Luiz

Possible characteristics to rate collective members by, grouped thematically I wanted to group reviews into both the different roles that collective members find themselves in and the different personality and work traits that have proven effective in the past. Whatever attributes we agree on would then be put into an online survey so that the data could be autopopulated into a spreadsheet. There are several broad goals: To decrease the amount of time it takes to review someone so that it can happen more frequently without dominating HR members plates, to lessen the amount of open-ended feedback (so that feedback is more specific and less subjective), to increase the likelihood of targeted feedback, make them feel more anonymous and dispassionate.

Meetings and Committee Work

Meeting facilitation (on time, on topic, balanced)
Scribing (clear, accurate, dispassionate)
Preparation (familiar with topics to be discussed)
Contribution (takes on regular committments)
Punctual (shows up on time)

Floor shift work

Steadiness (works for whole time, stays on task)
Area development (makes gradual evolutionary improvements to floor areas)
Intern coordination (effectively manages interns)
Punctuality (on time for floor shifts)

Efficiency

Task completion (completes tasks in a reasonable amount of time)
Inbox management (does not over-commit)
Mindful of others work (does not interrupt unless necessary)

Communication

uses appropriate language (professional, polite, content-oriented)
tells others when help is needed
offers help to others who need it
Netiquette (professional, polite, content-oriented)
receptiveness (allows and encourages feedback)
gives good feedback (constructive, dispassionate)
includes others in plans
lobbies through committees

Attitude

welcoming to volunteers (says thank you, remembers names, etc)
trusting of coworkers (trusts other committees decisions)
satisfaction (wants to work here)
positive (looks for solutions)

Leadership

Organization development (makes gradual evolutionary improvements to org)
Macromanagement (broad direction is primary concern)
Example (models good work to volunteers in areas)

Support

Worker is given enough help
