How to Conduct Skill Performance Evaluations Workshop

This one-day workshop allows participants to discover the principles of effective evaluation through analysis of seven typical scenarios that cover the assessment of technical tasks. These scenarios are:

Shut Down Main Unit
Inspect Exposed Pipe
Perform Flame-Ionization Procedure
Test Meter Station Regulators
Locate And Mark Pipe
Start/Load/Stop Compressor Units
Test Relief Valves

After completing the workshop, participants will be able to:

Prepare for and perform an evaluation
Observe the performance of technical tasks consistently and objectively
Appropriately use questions to aid in evaluation of competence
Recognize and avoid barriers to effective observation and evaluation
Evaluate acceptable task competence
Document an evaluation
Teach others how to effectively evaluate skill performance

This workshop includes little instructor presentation; rather, the instructor facilitates the process by which participants analyze and discuss the scenarios, and eventually to understand the process of evaluating technical tasks. In their discussions, participants will discover what to look for in the performance of an employee or contractor, observation skills and fairness in observation, effective questioning techniques, and how to avoid the common barriers to effective evaluation.

This workshop is offered in a one day format. The workshop focus is on real life case studies requiring participants to identify appropriate evaluation behavior, and make decisions on how to proceed. The workshop facilitator will take participants through the evaluation process, with an emphasis on fairness and consistency, and provides guidelines for handling a variety of situations that are likely to occur on the job.

This Workshop is for People Who

Evaluate and sign off skill performance of others for: operator qualification; skill base pay; promotions; skill attainment.
