Characteristics of an employee example - positive and negative characteristics

A characteristic is a concise statement of the main business and personal qualities of the person to whom it is issued.

There are so many types of characteristics, the very first of them are written on us at school.

Characteristics for students- almost always issued when moving from elementary school to middle school, and from middle school to high school.

When transferring to another educational institution, it is required without fail. Characteristics are written for students undergoing practice. And of course, in large numbers, on employees.

Who makes up?

As a rule, the document is drawn up by the immediate supervisor or an employee of the personnel department; in some cases, it is written by the head of the organization himself.

It is not uncommon for an employee to compile it for himself, and the director only signs, which, as it were, is not entirely correct, since the characteristic should contain objective data about the employee.

A little about the features of production characteristics

An employee may require a production characteristic after dismissal, if for some reason he did not take it upon dismissal. According to the regulations, a characterization of a former employee can be required for the next three years after the dismissal.

More often this document is needed when applying for a new job.

In addition, a characteristic may also be required while working at an enterprise, for example, for submission to a court or to the police or to the military registration and enlistment office. Perhaps it will be needed for internal use of rewarding or, conversely, punishment.

Therefore, it is customary to subdivide the characteristics into two types:

For internal use;
For external provision.

Composing the text you should consider why the characteristic was needed. Depending on the purpose for which it is compiled, it makes sense to pay attention to some facts, and to miss others.

So when writing a document to the police in case of loss of a driver’s license, probably should focus on the positive qualities of the employee and, and when issuing paper for obtaining a loan - on its reliability and solvency.

Writing a text for a new place of work, it is worth objectively describing business qualities, service relations, as well as personality traits that the employee showed during his work at his workplace.

It should be remembered that it can be drawn up for an employee who has worked at the enterprise for at least six months.

Some organizations have their own approved form of characteristics. When providing such an employee, you should fill out the paper, in accordance with the form provided.

Some compilation rules

All text must be subject to a specific intent., composing the text must remember that this is a document of internal or external use, from which to proceed when describing the facts and cases, if any, will take place in the characterization.
It must be either positive or negative., usually you cannot be both a good and a bad employee, so the document must have a certain focus.
Where is it issued and for what purpose, the facts are presented in coordinated thoughtful blocks, depending on the purpose of creating the document.

How to write a description?

When compiling this paper, you should remember that the employee’s personal data will be entered in it, therefore, before you start, you need to take written consent of the employee to the use of his personal data in this document.

For an objective display of labor activity, you should familiarize yourself with all records made in the employee's work book for the period of work at this enterprise, where awards are displayed without fail, as well as with a personal sheet containing information about punishments.

Since the immediate supervisor of the employee who composes the text will not always work with this employee throughout his entire career at this enterprise.

It is not recommended to enter data that is not related to the production area, often qualities that are not related to production characteristics are indicated in the production characteristics, for example, an exemplary family man or in everyday life is unrestrained.

Compilation algorithm

A cap, where information about the enterprise is indicated: name, legal address, details, outgoing number.
Date of preparation.
Document's name"Production characteristics for the driver of category C Vasechkin Yury Ivanovich."
The next block contains the personal data of the person, for which a characteristic is drawn up, which will necessarily include the full surname, first name and patronymic, date of birth, date of admission to the enterprise, the position for which the person was accepted. Education should not be indicated here, as it is available in other documents.
The next block should begin with the words:“For the time of work ..” after which it is necessary to characterize the business qualities of the employee, describe him as a specialist, his level of skill, desire to improve him, skills and abilities.
It should display the presence of incentives and awards for the time of work, for example, was repeatedly awarded for high performance.
Displaying related to production, personal qualities which the employee showed in the performance of his duties, for example, he is always ready to help other employees, willingly helped young employees to master the profession.
The last block should contain personal qualities who are not directly related to the profession, but manifested themselves in the work, for example, he knows how to be responsible for his actions, takes the initiative.
In the characteristic, a block is required, starting with the words"Characteristic issued for ...". It states why the document was drawn up. If this is unknown, it is written: “The characteristic is issued at the place of requirement”
The characteristic is signed, as a rule, by the head of the organization to be printed. Perhaps, also, two signatures: the immediate superior and the assurance - the head.

When creating a characteristic with a positive and negative bias, all of the listed blocks must be observed, with the only difference being that negative positions should be supported by real examples, and this can not be done in a positive way.
