Percentage Scores
Remember that one of the main reasons we write job descriptions is to use them evaluating performance.
Some parts of the job description are suitable for evaluating, and some aren’t. For instance, a job may require a college degree, but you’re not going to "evaluate" whether the employee has that degree, year after year. Likewise, you’re not going to "evaluate" the Job Summary.
For that reason, some items in the tree have percentage weights for scoring, and some don’t. The percentage weight determines how much of the employee’s total score depends on this item. During employee evaluation, you will have to assign scores to all the items that have percentage weights.
In TIP, a weight of 0% is the same as not having a percentage at all. If you want to make an item un-scoreable, change its percentage weight to 0%.
Now look back at the tree structure you’re working with. It will be something like this:

Notice that the total score for the whole job has to total 100% and the items within each scoreable item have to total 100%. For instance, this employee is going to be scored on Core Responsibilities and Behavioral Expectations. Each of them is 50% of the whole job, and 50 + 50 = 100. So far so good. Under Behavioral Expectations, there may be 3 to 6 items. You can change the percentages of any of these. TIP will make it easy for you to adjust the scores so that they always total 100% where they need to. |
