Performance Appraisal

Introduction

Performance appraisals are one way for employers and employees to work out together what is to be achieved in a specific job role, discuss any problems and opportunities, and decide on organisational objectives for a set period of time. A properly conducted appraisal meeting can be a valuable and motivating experience, providing the appraiser with an opportunity to:

• review the performance of each member of staff

• provide them with feedback

• agree new objectives

• air employees’ problems

• plan for training and development.
