OBJECTIVE: This study proposes to analyze the performance evaluation process based on the opinion of the nursing team. METHODS: In this quantitative survey, 164 professionals (119 nursing assistants and 45 nurses) working in the medical and surgical inpatient units at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre answered an anonymous multiple choice questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data, with calculation of absolute and relative frequencies. The chi-square test was used to establish significance (p = x). RESULTS: The results suggest overall predominance of satisfaction and positive aspects. However some team members are not satisfied with the process, indicating gaps and the need to improve some steps. CONCLUSION: The insatisfaction with the evaluation process is bigger among the oldest employees. The evaluation instrument, the periodicy, and the possibility of more participative evaluations, should be argued for the construction of new alternatives for the evaluation process.
