Staff Evaluations

The vanderBloemen Search Group suggest a six step approach to evaluation of staff, from the senior pastor to any other person you want to evaluate.

1. Compose Questions

2. Select Survey Software – or how to receive the feedback

3. Send Out the Survey Request

4. Let the Surveys Begin! Send the survey to the boss, peers, and direct reports and the team member themselves should also complete the survey based on his opinion of his own performance.

5. Provide Feedback Report– Provide the team member with an analysis of their results where they can see a comparison of the feedback from their boss, peers, and direct reports.

6. Self Analysis– After each staff member receives the feedback report, allow them time to process the responses.

As the leader of your team, be sure to set aside time with each team member to discuss their results. Assessments make us vulnerable and are often uncomfortable to face, especially for the first time. Listen well as your team members discuss what they learned about themselves and their team dynamics throughout the assessment process. Leadership development is one of the signs of a healthy church. Comprehensive church staff reviews will allow you and your staff to learn more about yourself as individuals, as a team, and as a church.
