Companies can find and explore different methods for evaluating current employees in this thorough and systematic guide. Discussing the primary goals of internal assessment--such as determining candidates for training, reassignment, promotion, or dismissal; deciding what developmental projects to assign employees; or effectively establishing who to dismiss and who to work hard to retain during downsizing--this manual relates the importance of this critical staffing function that many employees often do very poorly. Examining two models in-depth, this reference also shows different ways of evaluating a company's actual staffing procedures, making this a comprehensive guide.
