Article: Self-Evaluations: The Key To Career Development -~ Lisa Quast

After the end of the fiscal year, many companies ask employees to complete self-evaluations. These self-evaluations are then reviewed by the employee’s manager and, often times, included in the employee’s annual performance appraisal and personnel file in HR.
While many people scoff at this process and don’t take it seriously, it can actually be a great opportunity to increase communication between you and your boss and improve your career development. Just like with most things in life, the more effort you put into your self-evaluation, the more you’ll get out of the entire performance appraisal process.

Diamond Bank’s Chief Executive Officer/Group Managing Director, Mr Alex Ottih has resigned. He resigned today to pursue his political ambition. Mr Alex will be contesting in the 2015 Abia State Governorship race, to be the next Governor of the state.
