Air Force Print News (July 12, 2007): Air Force streamlines officer, enlisted evaluation forms.WASHINGTON -- Air Force officials are introducing new officer and enlisted evaluation forms as the Air Force transforms its personnel processes. The major part of this effort has been directed at reducing the workload associated with preparing officer and enlisted performance reports while ensuring the evaluation process remains fair and provides for accurate portrayal of performance. The change also includes the much-anticipated addition of physical fitness documentation to both evaluation and feedback In intelligence usage, continuous assessment of intelligence operations throughout the intelligence process to ensure that the commander's intelligence requirements are being met. See intelligence process. forms. Although the Air Force used a competency-based performance evaluation Performance evaluation The assessment of a manager's results, which involves, first, determining whether the money manager added value by outperforming the established benchmark (performance measurement) and, second, determining how the money manager achieved the calculated return and feedback process, the changes to the evaluation forms make them a more user-friendly, value-added product that accurately reflects an airman's performance. "Daily support to combatant commanders worldwide and the constant requirement to provide training and support to airmen and their families have placed a heavy workload on our entire force," said Lt. Gen. Roger A. Brady, Air Force deputy chief of staff for manpower and personnel. "The reality is that we cannot continue to accept cumbersome processes that impact our ability to operate at a high tempo. At the same time, we need to ensure that our evaluation processes fairly and accurately reflect performance." Both the officer and enlisted performance reports were shortened and technologically enhanced to decrease the time required to accomplish the report. The OPR OPR Operator OPR Office of Primary Responsibility OPR Operations OPR Operate OPR Office of Population Research (Princeton University) OPR Office of Professional Responsibility OPR Office of Planning and Research narrative lines were significantly reduced, and the unit mission description and impact on mission accomplishment areas were eliminated. While the former OPR had six performance factor blocks to rate job knowledge, leadership skills, professional qualities, organizational skills, judgment and decisions, and communication skills, the new form has one block to be used to indicate that all standards are met. If an officer does not meet standards, the new OPR allows for more detailed information to be provided. EPR EPR Electron Paramagnetic Resonance EPR Extended Producer Responsibility EPR Electronic Patient Record(s) EPR Emergency Preparedness and Response (US DHS) EPR Endpoint Reference EPR Ethylene-Propylene Rubber narrative comments were also significantly reduced, and performance assessment areas now reflect the increased responsibility airmen are charged with as they progress in rank. On performance feedback worksheets, performance assessment areas are now evaluated on a standardized criterion using "Does not Meet," "Meets," "Above Average," and "Clearly Exceeds" criterion. The immediate rater's comments are also aligned to the respective performance assessment areas on the front side. Comments by commanders and supervisors over several years indicate these changes will significantly reduce the administrative burden without negatively affecting their ability to provide an accurate assessment of an individual's performance and potential. Implementation dates for the new evaluation forms for all ranks are as follows: * Officers: Aug. 15, 2007 * Airman basic to senior airman: Aug. 15, 2007 * Staff sergeant: Jan. 1, 2008 * Technical sergeant: Jan. 1, 2008 * Master sergeant: Oct. 1, 2007 * Senior master sergeant senior master sergeant n. 1.
