Modern methods of employee’s assessment in the social sphere: evaluation of efficiency
The purpose of the article is to make an analytical review of modern methods of assessment of social workers. The analysis was made on the basis of data obtained during the project "On the Steps of Opportunities", implemented by employees of the Charitable Foundation for the Promotion of the Development of Social and Cultural Initiatives and Guardianship “Way of Life" in social institutions and non-profit social organizations in Moscow. The authors of the article evaluate the possibilities of such methods as individual in-depth interviews, conducting foresight sessions and focus groups, organizing grooming tasks to strengthen cross-team interactions, and compiling a profile of a successful leader. It is shown that the use of a set of strategic assessment methods allows not only to draw up a personal and professional portrait of the participant and fix the level of expression of each of the components of the professional potential of managers and employees, but also to predict the possibilities of forming managerial readiness, as well as help employees "project" personal beliefs and simultaneously undergo psychological protection. The implementation of these methods directs specialists to draw up a generalized picture that reflects the real attitude of employees to the project development strategy, to understand the true motives of their participation in the project and, in general, their professional activities. It is also important that within the framework of the implementation of the complex of assessment methods, systematic psychological and pedagogical support is provided for each participant in the project, an employee of the social sphere. In addition, it was concluded that the social effect of implementing modern methods of assessment is that such a comprehensive assessment of employees immanently reduces the level of their professional burnout and improves team building competencies.
