Solutions to the Problems in the Marine Corps Performance Evaluation System
Abstract
Changes in several areas will result in a better understood process that supports the Marine Corps objectives of selecting, promoting, and retaining the highest caliber personnel. Expanding the system to include all ranks would build confidence in the system and create a better understanding of what objective performance evaluation entails. Changing the roles of reporting officials results in improved reporting accuracy and corrects an imbalance in the leader-to-led evaluation system of some commands. Relative value (RV) has benefits, but there is significant potential for the result not to match the individuals actual potential. Eliminating RV in the boardroom and replacing it with a comparison of report averages, or another comparison method would resolve this issue. Finally, bringing the Automated Performance Evaluation System into the 21st Century through better system integration and business intelligence while tying all of the changes together with comprehensive training through a Marines career, will significantly improve the ability of all participants in the evaluation system to ensure that the Marine Corps is properly evaluating its personnel.
