I'm curious to know what others have to say on this. I question the need for this on an evaluation. How does that affect the employee's performance of the job? Could this behavior be as a result of the employee's culture?
Should we then critique posture? Chipped nail polish for tellers who distribute cash? What about someone with a nasaly or grating voice? Or people who shuffle their shoes while walking? (a personal pet peeve)

If the employee is performing, who care's if they don't look the supervisor in the eye - maybe the supervisor should find out if everything is okay first if this was a noticeable pattern prior to notifying the employee in writing - how does this make the supervisor look? Just a note, several year's ago It was once written in my performance appraisal that one of the secretaries did not like my stance - can you believe it? (it was one of several secretaries who only liked working with men.) I was then an Assistant Manager of a branch. I guess I was pretty intimidating when I placed my hands on my hips. I must admit, I've tried not do stand that way as much, but it sure helped out my bad back.

Louvera - you remind me of when I was back in Junior High. My homeroom teacher gave me an Unsatisfactory in Work Habits because I did not read the daily school bulletin with enough "sparkle and enthusiasm."
The teacher would not accept my explanation that I read the bulletin the way I did so I wouldn't get beaten up by the class bully who thought I was "teacher's pet" anyways.
And so.... that little episode really soured me on "sparkle and enthusiasm!"

This may be a cultural issue. In many countries, it is a sign of disrespect to look a superior in the eye during certain situations, or for a woman to make eye contact with a man when being chastised, judged, directed, etc.

Maybe the employee did not want to look the supervisor in the eye for fear of laughing out loud at the supervisor's appearance???? (joke, joke) If I was in Human Resources and saw this note in an employee's file, I would question the objectivity of the supervisor. And, a note would be put in the supervisor's employee file referencing the occurrence. I knew of a supervisor that put a note in an employee's file because he did not take as many notes as other employees when they were receiving instructions from the supervisor. I told her that he might have better retainage of instructions if he just listened instead of trying to write and listen at the same time. His job performance was above average.

I was put into a supervisory position a few years back and have never had any training in doing employee reviews (same situation with another supervisor here). I still dread doing them and don't feel confident. Are there training materials available for this? We have a fairly good form for the reviews, but I just don't know if I am completing the forms fairly, including too much informtaion, not giving enough information, and rating the employee fairly.
