APPRAISAL OF WORK PERFORMANCE

What Is a Performance Appraisal?


A performance appraisal is a regular review of an employee's job performance
and overall contribution to a company. Also known as an "annual review,"
"performance review or evaluation," or "employee appraisal," a performance
appraisal evaluates an employee’s skills, achievements and growth, or lack
thereof. Companies use performance appraisals to give employees big-picture
feedback on their work and to justify pay increases and bonuses, as well as
termination decisions. They can be conducted at any given time but tend to be
annual, semi-annual or quarterly.

1. Every employee’s individual performance influences how all the team


or even the firm (especially if it is small) is doing.

workers like to know where they stand regarding their job performance
and want to see what else (useful) they can do for the company.

as identifying areas for improvement. An employee can discuss and
even create a developmental (training) plan with the manager so he can
improve his skills.

compensation system. Best performers get better pay and benefits
packages. Similarly, those employees that lag behind get penalized.
5. It provides a structured process for an employee to approach the
management for discussions, identify problems, clarify expectations and
plan for the future. It lets both manager and employee set up long- and
short-term goals.
6. The statistics can be used to monitor the success of the
organization’s recruitment and induction practices.
7. Performance appraisal system also helps the management in deciding
about the promotions, transfers and rewards of the employee.
8. It is easy to identify the under-performers and decide whether you
want to keep them hoping for improvement or sometimes have to let
them go.
9. Both manager and employee, keep performance appraisal
records and can retrospectively review the changes in the performance
in future.
