Employee Performance Improvement Tool Kit Streamlines Human Resources Management Tasks

Chicago, Ill. – May 14, 2008 – Attracting and retaining your most valuable asset—your employees—leads to improvement in your company’s bottom-line performance and achievement of your business goals.  The key is to be able to efficiently and effectively manage your employees, unlocking each employee’s potential and increasing productivity.  Now there is a resource that can help you simplify the tasks necessary to maximize employee performance.

The Employee Performance Improvement Tool Kit, Second Edition, now available from the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA), is a comprehensive resource for recruiting, evaluating, training, orienting and motivating your employees.  Five publications in one, the Tool Kit includes everything you need to implement an organized, practical process for improving performance, leading to commitment and achievement of your company’s goals.  Each publication covers a specific area of human resources and gives you samples, templates, checklists and forms you can customize to fit your company’s needs.  The publication incudes the following sections:

• Job Descriptions:  Analyze jobs and develop clear job descriptions and requirements.
• Performance Evaluations:  Develop an evaluation structure that links to the job description and incorporates planning, appraisal, monitoring and formal evaluation.
• How to Start a Training Program:  Assess your training needs, design and develop a training program, and measure and evaluate employee performance after training.
• Recruitment and Retention Guide:  Recruit and retain talented employees with sample checklists, forms and employment applications.
• New Employee Orientation Program:  Nurture the enthusiasm your new employees bring to the job with a well-thought-out orientation.

The Tool Kit also includes a CD with Microsoft Word® documents you can edit and revise for your own company’s style or just use to check against your existing documents for completeness.  Some examples of the documents included are:

• Sample forms and templates:  Employment application, job function statement, information release authorization
• Checklists:  New employee orientation checklist, recruitment checklist
• Job descriptions:  Inside sales/customer service rep, field/outside sales, warehouse manager
