3. A process to evaluate performance.

It's important that behaviors are measured and evaluated so that positive recognition and reward is based on facts, not feelings.

o Is a measurement process addressed in the written recognition plan?
o Is recognition criteria based on behaviors/activities over which employees have control?
o Is measurement criteria clearly communicated and understood?
o Do sustained performance of mandatory behaviors result in personal recognition?
o Do voluntary behaviors result in personal recognition and reward?
o Are incentives deliberately designed to increase desired behaviors?
o Are rewards controlled and monitored by management?
o Are standard procedures used to identify employees, activities, incentives?
