“Painless Performance Evaluations” poses questions to think about after what is being read, as well as a quiz at the end of each chapter. Green explains documentation, identifying issues, legal aspects of evaluations, as well as the difference between attitudes and behaviors. She also details the roles of supervisors, employees and Human Resources. Furthermore, Green gives pages of sample management tools that can be adapted to any business. She even encourages that employees participate in their own performance evaluations.

Green’s book is clear, thorough, and easy to read. It encompasses all that one needs to know when conducting performance evaluations. “Painless Performance Evaluations” would be ideal when conducting management classes or a study guide for new managers or supervisors. There is no need for any other book.
