Performance Expectations
At this point it might be good to do a check in to see how well you are doing with some key questions from our Working@IOWA survey of employee satisfaction and engagement. How would your employees respond?
- I know what is expected of me in my job?
- My supervisor acknowledges me for doing good work.
- I receive regular feedback about my work.
- I am encouraged to participate in professional development.
Learn more about the survey from the resource link. Resources to help you improve in these areas are also listed.
