Performance Evaluation System Update: Choosing the Right Force for an Austere Future

Abstract

The Marine Corps Performance Evaluation System uses a top-down evaluation to track the performance of its Marines. Civilian corporations have long since recognized the limitations of top-down evaluation and have adopted 360-degree reviews to gain a more holistic view of their employees. Even though the Marine Corps culture is very different from a civilian corporation, 360-degree reviews can be effectively incorporated into a hierarchical organization. Besides adding 360-degree reviews, other changes need to be made to the process because the Marine Corps fitness report provides a very myopic assessment of Marines. By adding a few new sections to the fitness report, Marine Corps leaders will be provided with a more accurate picture of a Marines performance and capabilities. Personal accomplishments, education, and MOS credibility are areas that deserve more attention.
