Assembled in a loose leaf notebook, this collection of independent on-the-job activities is designed to facilitate employee development and intended to help improve an organization's performance appraisal system. The on-the-job development activities described derive from job descriptions, performance appraisal forms, and discussions with job holders and managers. The body of the document is arranged according to eight general headings: (1) initiative/responsibility, (2) human relations/communication, (3) leadership, (4) planning and organization, (5) decision making, (6) administration, (7) selling and marketing, and (8) technology-related skills. Specific performance factors are grouped under each heading, independent of particular job families, in order to allow employees and managers to select developmental activities best suited to individual employees and their unique developmental needs. Each activity includes a brief statement of the purpose of the activity, an explanation of the activity itself (with a suggested time period for completion), and a criterion for evaluating the activity.
