New Employee Guide to Success

PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS As a company, it is our expectation that our employees align with our core values: Absolute Customer Focus, Building Trust, Continuous Learning, Do It Right The First Time, and Sense of Ownership. If an employee lives out these values, we have no doubt that they will perform exceptionally at our company! Additionally, we believe that feedback is an essential part of your growth. We have a structured review process to make sure that you are given the feedback you need to grow and excel within the company. Here’s the process: 30-Day Stay Interview: This is a sit-down meeting with your supervisor discussing how your first 30 days have been with the company. In this meeting, you will be able to bring up any concerns, promotion interests, or learning struggles you have had in your first month. 90-Day Performance Review: This will be your first performance review with your direct supervisor. This meeting will highlight strengths and weaknesses you have shown in your first 90 days. You will also discuss competencies and goals that you can work on to better yourself as an employee. Annual Performance Review: We complete performance reviews company-wide once a year. This gives you the opportunity to have an honest and transparent conversation with your manager about what you are doing well and what you can be working on. You will also be setting your goals for the following year with your manager as well as determining competencies to work on that will help you develop as an employee. Seal-Rite employees have their reviews in February and Palmer-Donavin employees have their reviews in March. Manager Specific Expectations: Your manager may have other methods of looking at performance than what it listed above. It is important that you make sure that you have a clear definition of what these expectations are. A good understanding of how your manager looks at performance is key to an effective workplace. One example is the Job Scorecard. This management tool is like a job description on steroids. It clearly lays out for employees what is expected of them at what intervals and what success looks like. 60-Day Stay Interview: This is another sit-down meeting with your supervisor after 60 days with the company.
