Performance Evaluation and Promotions
First: Performance Evaluation
Article (44): The institution adopts a policy of evaluating the performance of all its employees once a year, prior to approving the institution’s financial statements.
Article (45): The objective of the employee performance evaluation process is to provide the employee with a clear picture of the management’s view of them, offering them the opportunity to understand their strengths and weaknesses, thereby enabling them to improve their abilities and overall performance in the coming years. The evaluation process also provides information for making decisions regarding promotions, annual raises, and contract renewals.
Article (46): Branch managers distribute approved evaluation forms to all institution employees at the beginning of the evaluation period each year. All employees who have served for six months or more are subject to evaluation, and only those who have served for a full year or performed exceptional work, as determined by their direct supervisor, are eligible for raises.
Article (47): Each employee in the institution undergoes a performance evaluation conducted by their direct supervisor in consultation with the branch manager, the executive director, or the general manager, after reviewing the employee’s file.

Article (49): Employee evaluations are conducted quarterly. Direct supervisors must return the completed evaluation forms to the branch manager and the executive director for approval, and then send them to the general manager to be filed in the employee’s personal file. The department manager must ensure that the completed evaluation form is returned within no more than one month.
Article (50): Annual performance reports are approved by the general manager and become effective immediately after approval.
