Most supervisors evaluate employees by the
following areas:
Attendance - The most important thing you
can do for your employer is to show up, on
time. If you are not at work when you are
supposed to be, you show your boss you do not
care about your job.
Appearance - This is especially important in
positions when you come in contact with the
public. Be in proper uniform and be clean.
Attitude - You need to be in the right frame of
mind while you are at work. Having a positive
attitude at work can be as important as your
performance. Leave your personal problems
outside work. Check your bad attitude at the
door.
Performance - Do the job the way you were
trained to do the job. Be the best you can.
Give your job your full attention.
