CC Work Session 2. 3. Meeting Date: 10/11/2016 Information Title: Discussion Regarding a New On-line Assessment Tool for the City Administrator's Annual Performance Evaluation Purpose/Background: Mr. Kurt Ulrich was hired as the City Administrator on September 17, 2007. Mr. Ulrich's Employment Agreement requires the completion of an annual 360 degree performance evaluation. Upon completion of last year's performance evaluation, discussion ensued regarding another option for a 360 review tool, called CheckPoint 360° and how it might benefit the City. Mr. Ulrich's performance evaluation includes feedback from the City Council, his direct reports, and Mr. Ulrich himself. The current performance evaluation is conducted using SurveyMonkey. A sample of both the current and new assessment are attached. As with SurveyMonkey, CheckPoint 360 is designed to collect feedback from the same groups of people. As stated, up until now, staff have utilized SurveyMonkey which is an online survey that is customizable. It is prepared based on the City Administrator's position description, the City's core values and the City Council's preferences as they relate to the City Administrators's desired performance outcomes. CheckPoint 360 has significant overlapping core competencies and areas of measurement when compared to the current performance evaluation; however, it offers a comprehensive automated summary report, including areas for professional development. The text below is an except from the CheckPoint 360 provider describing the assessment tool in more detail. CheckPoint 360° is a 360-degree leadership assessment used to help managers identify and prioritize their own development opportunities and leadership skills. It is also used to surface management issues that could lead to low employee productivity, morale, satisfaction, and turnover. This assessment compiles a feedback system from direct reports, peers, supervisors, and even customers, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback. CheckPoint 360° measures • Communication • Leadership • Adaptability • Relationships • Task management • Production • Development of others • Personal development The data -driven reports generated from CheckPoint 360° explain how to improve training, management techniques, and communication for greater success, all with information -rich graphs and charts as well as narrative descriptions of the result.
