Overall Performance Level (BOSS COMPLETES)

Boss determines the Overall Performance Level at year end. Overall performance rating takes into account results achieved against scorecard targets and any customized performance goals (75%) and performance on leadership behaviors (25%). (Note: If overall performance rating is high and leadership behavior is significantly lower, the lower rating should be given in some cases. Be specific in comments section on which behaviors need improvements.)

Results Achieved Rating (____ x 75%) / + / Leadership Behavior Rating (____ x 25%) / = / Overall Performance Rating __
Overall Performance Rating Guidelines
3.5-4.0 / Exceptional Performance
2.5-3.49 / Significant Performance
1.5-2.49 / Some Improvement Required
1.0-1.49 / Unacceptable Performance
4 Exceptional Performance
The employee achieved results that far exceeded expectations and requirements of the job, while modeling the Leadership Behaviors expected of McDonald’s employees. The employee’s performance was always of exceptional quality. This rating is reserved for employees who have exhibited exceptional performance while meeting challenging demands.
3 Significant Performance
The employee achieved results that consistently met or occasionally exceeded expectations and planned objectives. This rating describes employees who successfully do their jobs and meet high performance standards while at the same time demonstrating McDonald’s Leadership Behaviors. (Note: This rating should also be used for employees new in their job and progressing as expected.)
2 Some Improvement Required
Improvement is required as the employee’s performance was varied, and his or her ability to meet expectations and accomplish planned objectives was inconsistent. This rating should be used for employees who achieved results but did so by demonstrating behaviors that are not consistent with McDonald’s Leadership Behaviors. Employees in this rating category should be placed on an accelerated review cycle with a Performance Improvement Plan to improve performance. (Note: This rating should also be used for employees who are new in position and progressing as expected OR have not had an opportunity to demonstrate behavior.)
1 Unacceptable Performance
The employee’s performance was unacceptable and needs immediate improvement. Expected results were not attained and planned objectives were not achieved. This rating also pertains to employees who achieved results but did so in a manner that is clearly in violation of the Leadership Behaviors that are expected of McDonald’s employees. An employee in this category should be on a Performance Improvement Plan, and must meet the objectives of the plan to remain in current position. In some cases, termination without going through a Performance Improvement Plan may be appropriate.
