Supervisor Evaluation – Megan Mesack

It is the College’s goal to annually evaluate the performance of each employee. The purpose of the evaluation process is to provide an opportunity for the supervisor and employee to review the prior year’s work performance. This process should include conversations related to the strengths and weaknesses in your employee’s performance, the development of future objectives, and your support and encouragement in assisting them to reach their full potential. The evaluation process helps to promote better communication between you and your employee, allows your employee input, and enables attention to be focused on job performance standards.  As you communicate the performance appraisal, your employee needs to understand performance expectations and your employee should be provided the opportunity to respond and discuss any issues that may arise.  Feedback concerning job satisfaction, career goals, and position responsibility are encouraged during the appraisal and throughout the year.

Quality of WorkSTRENGTH (4)

I am constantly benchmarking where CCS’s materials lead and where we can push our graphics/messaging further. I enjoy the challenge and drive, but end results can be compromised due to the overwhelming amount of projects to keep up with the requests.

DependabilityLEADING (5)

I have worked very hard to look at CCS’s project needs as a whole. For my own workload, I know when my peak times are and how integrate other projects during those peak times to ensure every project’s completion. Establishing timelines for projects, and adhering to them, has been key to success.

Job KnowledgeSTRENGTH (4)

I push boundaries daily in program software to be more efficient and create brand consistency across our communications. I also dedicate time to organizing shared files on our server for ease of access with others, researching paper improvements, inks and finishes for various printed pieces.

Interactive/Effective CommunicationDEMONSTRATING (3)

I prefer to visualize each project as part of a bigger picture within our brand. I like to be as involved as early as possible to best understand its scope, then how to guide freelancers (if applicable), myself or others to execute. More info vs. less is way more valuable to execute a project.

Emotional IntelligenceDEMONSTRATING (3)

I am outgoing, positive and try to be as polite as possible. I perform tight turnarounds with little time or assistance which can lead to stressful situations and can cause delays in other projects. I am trying to be more aware of where my responsibilities stop as a result of others negligence.

Management AbilityDEMONSTRATING (3)

I continue to work with student employees, freelance artists and designers, photographers and multiple vendors on a regular basis to meet production schedules and produce quality work.

TeamworkSTRENGTH (4)

I love our team and enjoy learning about what each of us are doing to bring bigger and better ideas to CCS’ communications! I am constantly working with the digital designer and web specialist to ensure my print materials can coexist with their needs as well.

AgilitySTRENGTH (4)

The sheer volume of projects I balance in a year should say this alone. My projects topped 400 assignments the last time we checked. The good thing is that these aren’t always a simple re-print. Updating or radically re-designing these pieces to ensure we’re on top of our audience is crucial.

Goals

    1. I want to further bridge “College for Creative Studies” and the abbreviated “CCS” logo. Exposure, advanced designs and applications to spread this synonymous relationship.
    1. Design a Watson mascot for the college. Involve students through social media and then conceive the best tone for the final drawing. Will produce addt’l merchandise to announce its debut.
    1. Learn more digital design applications to be more flexible for our team.
    1. Building graphics within the community. This includes light pole banners, building designs and exposing the College’s name.

Accomplishments

    1. The sheer volume of projects produced, including projects designed and never produced has been absolutely terrifying this year (in particular). I am proud to say I survived mentally.
    1. A redesigned road piece was hard work for all of the team involved. But the end result was incredible and I can’t wait to explore other pieces that also need the attention.
    1. Worked with a jr. designer to push her skillsets into assisting me with production-ready files and age-appropriate ideas for our communications.
    1. We have finally changed the DIWA catalogue for considerable cost savings and printing efficiency. While more laborious on the design, it will be easier from a quality perspective when printing.

Comments

I’m hoping to be more involved in the initial discussion of projects. It helps me significantly visualize a design direction and get a clear sense of scale while bouncing ideas off of others. I feel like this will continue to bridge our team across print, digital, marketing and communications.
