Part 2: Job Competencies

Rating Scale:

You demonstrate exceptional competence and productivity. This high level of performance is evident throughout the year and across all critical aspects of your role.
SatisfactoryThe employee consistently shows satisfactory performance and effectively completes assigned tasks. They are fully competent in their role and perform their duties adequately. However, they may require some direction or supervision.
UnsatisfactoryThe employee consistently falls short of the performance standards expected for this role in nearly all key areas. The quality and manner of their work are below company standards and deemed unacceptable. Without significant and immediate improvement, this rating should prompt the employee to reflect on the suitability of their continued employment.


Your assessment is limited in the number of ratings that you can give as Exceptional or as Unsatisfactory. This form will limit the number of items that you can rate at the extreme ends of the scale. Once you have reached the limit, the computer will prevent you from selecting any more of that rating.
Rating Limit: Please note: You are limited to no more than 5 responses of "Exceptional" and 5 responses of "Unsatisfactory". Once you check the 5th item with that response, the remaining unchecked options will be removed.
