Use this sample and step by step explanation for setting meaningful and inspiring employee performance goals for an assay chemist.

An assay chemist examines chemical compounds and elements within various materials in the laboratory to determine their overall composition by following established procedures such as spectrophotometric and chromatographic. He/she also studies these compounds and elements further to determine how they interact with one another, analyses and interprets data ensuring it is accurately recorded as well as reporting the results.

Besides examining of these compounds, they also help in detecting chemical pollutants in the environment and how they can reduce their adverse effect, validating methods and equipment, reporting scientific results, working with cross-functional teams, interpreting data, comparing the obtained data with trend data, developing technique for analysis purposes and making use of analytical lab techniques and instrumentation.
