How many categories are typically included in the JEPES evaluation form?

The JEPES evaluation form typically includes five categories, which are designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of a junior enlisted member's performance. These categories encompass various aspects such as professionalism, leadership, job performance, self-improvement, and contributions to the unit. Each category focuses on specific competencies and allows for a balanced evaluation of the individual’s overall capabilities and achievements, reflecting the individual's growth and areas that may need improvement.

Understanding the structure of these five categories is essential for both evaluators and those being evaluated, as it helps set clear expectations and benchmarks for performance. This framework supports a fair evaluation process, fostering an environment of continuous feedback and development.
