To get the greatest benefit from this practicum, make sure you have read related training on the site. Click below to read about Christ-Like Character:

As believers we are exhorted to be honest with one another (Col. 3:9). God’s Word does not provide exceptions, just the qualification of speaking the truth in love (Eph. 4:15). Hence, we need to be truthful when executing staff evaluations.

Bible Verses about being Truthful that can be Applied to Staff Evaluations:

The LORD detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. (Prov. 11:1)

The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. (Prov. 12:22)

Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue. (Prov. 28:23)

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. (Eph. 4:15)

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. (Eph. 4:25)

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (Col. 3:9-10)

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. (1 Jn. 3:18)

These are merely a sampling of verses from God’s Word that deal with truthfulness. If we can’t be honest in staff evaluations, perhaps we would be better not providing these performance reviews. However, if we have been honest throughout the year, what needs to be said in an evaluation should merely be an extension of honest feedback already provided.

The Steering the Church Toward Christ-like Character Leadership Guide also include six different ways we might lie, perhaps not always intentionally, when doing a staff evaluation.
