Section 11C - Performance Feedback Flashcards
(96 cards)
Performance feedback is a(n) ____, formal communication tool used to explain duty performance requirements and responsibilities and to let the rate know if he or she is performing as expected.
Private.
Performance feedback, if clearly stated and received, should explain duty performance requirements and responsibilities, and tell rates if they are performing as expected. How does this help the ratee?
It contributes to positive communication, improves their performance and helps them grow professionally.
In performance feedback, why is he rater usually the immediate supervisor?
The rater is usually responsible for the total job effort and is in the best position to observe daily duty performance. (also, the rater normally has the knowledge and experience necessary to discuss expectations related to the AFS.)
In performance feedback, who can be raters?
An officer or NCO of a US or foreign military service in a grade equal to or higher than the rate, or a civilian (GS-5 or a comparable grade or higher) in a supervisory position higher than the rate in the ratee’s rating chain.
In the performance feedback process, when may SrA serve as raters?
After completing ALS.
Performance feedback sessions are mandatory for all enlisted personnel. (T/F)
True.
Initial performance feedback sessions are held within ____ days of when a rater initially begins supervision.
60 days. (The rater uses this session to clearly define expectations for the upcoming rating period.)
What is a midterm feedback session and who must receive one?
A session is held midway between the date supervision began and the projected EPR closeout date focusing on how well the rate meets expectations. All AB-SMSgt who receive EPRs receive one. (They are not required for CMSgts.)
When is a midterm feedback session due for Airmen who do not receive EPRs?
Approximately 180 days after the initial session. (This cycle continues until there is a Change of Rating Official (CRO) or the airman begins to receive EPRs.)
When do raters conduct a feedback session for AB - TSgt when evaluation report is written without a subsequent change of rater?
The session is conducted within 60 days of the EPR closeout.
Feedback sessions are held if the rater determines there is a need for one or within ____ days of a request from a rate (provided at least 60 days have passed since the last feedback session.)
30 days.
If a Change of Reporting Official (CRO) is expected or the projected EPR closeout date limits the period of supervision to less than ____ days, a feedback session should take place approximately 60 days before the EPR closeout.
150 days.
The Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW) is a guide for conducting feedback sessions covering what topics?
Objectives, standards, behavior and performance.
Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW) comments must be handwritten. (T/F)
False. (They may also be typed.)
When does the rater give the completed Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW) to the ratee?
At the end of the feedback session. (The rater also keeps a copy for personal reference.)
When may the Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW) be used in any personnel action?
Only if the ratee introduces it.
In performance feedback, the rater’s rater is authorized access to the completed Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW) for which ranks?
AB-TSgt. (The commander is authorized access for all grades.)
What is the rater’s main goal when completing AF Form 931, Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW)?
To develop the ratee. (The form itself is just a tool.)
How many sections are on the AF Form 931, Performance Feedback Worksheet (PFW)?
Five.
On AF Form 931, where do you enter the ratee’s name, grade and unit assigned?

On AF Form 931, where do you indicate whether the feedback is initial, midterm, ratee requested or rater directed?
Section II, Types of Feedback.
The ratee’s major job-specific duties are listed in Section III, Primary Duties on AF Form 931. If additional space is needed, where should you continue the description?
In Section V, Strengths, Suggested Goals and Additional Comments.
Which section of AF Form 931 incorporates both primary duty factors and general military factors into one major category?
Section IV, Performance Feedback.
What primary duty factors are covered in Section IV of AF Form 931?
AFS - related factors with feedback based on occurrences in the work environment.
