How can you evaluate an employee in monotonous task such as data entry?

For me, to evaluate an employee in doing monotonous task is through the quality and accuracy of his/ her daily task. Making sure that every details are correct and accurate.

 

Any evaluation should be based on the contribution of the work towards achieving the collective goal of the team. Data entry should be evaluated for the below Precision and accuracy Time bound Aware of consequences of wrong data entry

All the tasks we perform towards doing a job contribute towards generating revenues or saving costs or improving the processes which all ultimately lead to one motive - a profitable and a sustainable organisation. Try to find out the task of data entry which is being carried out - how is it linked to one of the above parameters and design an evaluation criterion which captures numbers of entry made and its contributions, accuracy of the data entered, the time consumed etc. 

Evaluation an employee in monotonous tasks as Data entry:

- Employee has to be punctual to work

- Employee has to be committted or Dedicated to his/her Job

-Employee must always have a Personal target at work in which he/she has to meet up.

-No mistakes in Data Entry.

-Employee must always meet the company's target set by the Organisation.

 

By analysis of previous data I.e number of mistakes done .. consider it as rating of mistakes level percentage... also time taken to complete the data .. previous and current time consumed ...

It dependens on the task  nature regarding what the needed abilities and qualification that meeting such a task and regarding that data entry tasks are varied.

You can evaluate based on the accuracy of the data entries, as well as timely submittion of data and the ability to pay attention to detail, that correct entries are posted in the right place. Also the amount of work the staff is able to handle. For example, are there targets? If targets have been set then review that vs what the employee is able to accomplish each day or at the end of each month.

evaluation of Data entry work is difficult but not impossible. To evaluate the following parametr to look at

1) Time management- Punctuality at work , in and out time abd proper utilisation of 8hrs work shift.

2) Productive output- here relate to proper entry of the work and zero mistake while entering data.

3) Speed limit- wpm entry as per the data feed

4)Behavioural aspect - relates to connection with peers and boss while at work.

These are some of the parameters to look at for Data entry employee evaluation. 

Benchmarking for such a monotonous job is quite easier, you can set time bound output standards.
