When you think of the word “evaluation,” what comes to mind? Perhaps when you think about evaluations you think about anxiousness, annoyance, or maybe tediousness. Sometimes evaluations can bring all those thoughts and feelings when thought of, but it does not have to be this way. Computer network evaluations and employee office evaluations are very important and can help prevent many issues.

Network Evaluations:

If you are not already aware of what network evaluations are, it is the process of assessing a current network’s infrastructure, system, software, security and implementation.

Out of the two evaluations, this one is the more expensive one. The reason for this is because having this type of evaluation done can be very time consuming and requires the time of IT managements and a key business personnel in order to do it. But, if this could be overlooked, there are a lot of issues that can be prevented by this process.

Performance:

By doing this evaluation, you could prevent any future performance issues. With this you could find any areas that may need improvement and address them ahead of time. You could also find that, maybe this network is not beneficial for your growing business any longer and could help decide what you would want an upgraded network to do for you.

Security:

Security issues are a huge problem for any business especially if the company works with confidential data. If there were ever any security problems it could become expensive to correct, and it could cost the business their customer’s trust.

According to Smallbusiness.chron.com, the Department of Homeland Security believes this kind of evaluation to be so important that they allow requests for free evaluations.

Office Evaluations:

Office, or employee, evaluations are done in order to measure job performances. This type of evaluation can be extremely helpful and beneficial for the business.

Performance:

By handing out employee evaluations, you would be forced to face difficult situations that need to be dealt with ahead of time or in a timely matter. This way, by the time of the next evaluation, all the major issues have already been dealt with and under control.

Motivation:

Being honest about the evaluations and addressing the strengths and weaknesses of an employee, you could help keep your employees motivated. By doing this, you could also set future performance goals and objectives for them in order to help them stay on track with work.

At first, getting these evaluations can seem as a long tedious, and sometimes expensive process, but the benefits for these issues can be much greater than the initial annoyances.
