Who knew? Amazing, the Hawthorne Effect.
The retaildoc talks about the Hawthorne Effect, and offers a simple14-question employee review form you can download here.
More on the Hawthorne Effect. And what a straw boss is.
Even better, the TGtbT.com Products for the Professional Resaler that will help you be a better boss.
Thanks so much. We have been looking for just such a document.
It really gets to what matters. Can’t believe you do all this with 2 fingers.

I really like this Kate! I will edit it to fit my business and save it. I think giving this sort of review will really help clarify to employees what is expected of them. Surprisingly, sometimes they simply don’t know what is expected of them. Thanks!

Glad I found this for you! To be totally clear-eyed about this, why WOULD they know (or remember) unless it’s reinforced, as in a review? After all, they’re just doing a job, even if they are the most devoted staffers you’ve ever had the pleasure to know. They don’t know, don’t consider, the big picture the way an owner and manager do.
Most people WANT to do good, but they also need to know, over and over again, what really is the right, good, positive way to do everything that we expect from them.

Alice, you DO know that you can cut and paste from the PDF, don’t you? There, I saved you 1/2 hour (or 1 hour Kate-time since I am a 2-fingered typist!)
