Performance appraisals are a regular review of employee performance within organizations.
Generally, the aims of a scheme are:
- Give feedback on performance to employees.
- Identify employee training needs.
- Document criteria used to allocate organizational rewards.
- Form a basis for personnel decisions-salary (merit) increases, disciplinary actions, etc.
- Provide the opportunity for organizational diagnosis and development.
- Facilitate communication between employee and administrator.
- Validate selection techniques and human resource policies to meet federal Equal Employment Opportunity requirements.
A common approach to assessing performance is to use a numerical or scalar rating system whereby managers are asked to score an individual against a number of objectives/attributes.
The most popularmethods that are being used as Performance Appraisal Process are: 1. 360 degree (multi-rater) feedback 2. Management by objectives (MBO)
