What recommendation is necessary on the current in-grade performance evaluation for saving to be graded as progressing?

To be graded as "progressing" on the current in-grade performance evaluation, it is essential that a significant problem is noted. This indicates that while the individual is making advances, there are observable issues that need to be addressed. The concept behind this grading is that for a member to be moving forward in their career, it is acknowledged that performance isn't at an optimal level, yet there is potential for improvement. Therefore, recognizing significant problems highlights that the member is not at their best but is on a path towards progress, which is distinct from being a high performer or being simply recognized for consistent performance. This approach allows for growth opportunities and feedback that can help the member develop further in their role.
