If you are finding a better method of evaluating, in full aspect, the companyculture, employee performance of practice and business operation, you mayconsider applying the Paired Comparison Method

The Paired Comparison Method When Jack uses this method, each monthJack (or his line managers) could compare each subordinate based on thesuggestions from Jennifer on: store cleanliness, efficiency, safety, and adherence tobudget This method also provides an opportunity for each of Jack's stores to havean "Employee of the Month " to raise morale and create healthy competition thusboosting sales But we should keep in mind when developing appraisal methods, thefollowing things should be kept in mind:

 Meetings should be held to clearly explain the purpose, applicationprocedures, and how the results will be collected.

 Provide training for the person responsible for the assessment, wherethey will be instructed on how to give valuable and objectivefeedback.

 Based on the evaluation results, the company can find employees withhigh performance, excellent job performance, and if it is discoveredthat employees have the opposite criteria, it is necessary to offertraining methods create suitable

CONCLUSION

Performance evaluation is a necessary job that can bring a lot of value inboth the short, medium and long term to organizations and businesses The samegoes for cleaning companies, if Jack applies and considers performing performanceevaluation in a methodical and professional manner with an appropriate frequency,this process is not only to recognize worthy employees but it is also effective inretaining talent and helping him save costs in recruiting or training a new employee.Thereby, Jack can implement some useful strategies for the growth of his companybased on the time and cost that he saves.
