Introduction Once an employee has been chosen for a job, and has been doing it for long enough, their performance should be evaluated in order to provide feedback on the quality of the employee’s appointment, qualifications, work, etc. Performance appraisal is the ideal opportunity for top management, as well as the Human Resources Management department, to see which aspects of the performance of a worker need improvement, what kinds of development program can be provided, and what support will be necessary for the process to be completed. Performance review revises both past performance and the goals of future performance. Appraising an employee’s performance is an essential part of performance management, but does not constitute the entire process of management. It is one of the tools which HRM has at its disposal to get a grasp of the work, goals, and motivations of the workers in a company. 2. Basic concepts of Performance Management and Appraisal Performance management is an amalgamation of different activities that, once collected, provide a definitive conclusion to management, in order...

When working on a job for a company, most companies have a performance appraisal to let you know how well or not so well you are doing. In this paper I will show how a performance appraisals is used and how effective it is at increasing employee’s performances. Performance appraisals as stated by Carolyn Youssef (2012) is “The process through which employee performance is assessed, feedback is provided to the employee, and corrective action plans are designed” (section 6.2, par. 1). Most employers give performance appraisals after 6 months to a year of service and then every year on your anniversary date of employment with the company. Performance appraisals is based on your work ethics and how well you carry out your duties. Some performance appraisals is followed up with a raise or promotion but not all the time.

...Personnel appraisals, although very widely used, have well-recognised shortcomings and limitations. Even when the process emphasises appraisal rather than counselling, it is far from universally satisfactory. There are certain barriers which work against the effectiveness ol appraisal system. The identification of these barriers is necessary to minimise their impact on the appraisal system. Among the principal barriers to effective appraisal programmes are: 1. Faulty assumptions, 2. Psychological blocks, and 3. Technical pitfalls. (1) Faulty Assumptions Because of the faulty assumptions of the parties concerned—superior and his subordinate—in appraisal system, it does not work properly or objectively. These assumptions work against an appraisal system in the following manner: (i) The assumption I hat managers naturally wish to make fair and accurate appraisals of subordinates is untenable. McFarland feels that both .superiors and subordinates show tendencies to avoid formal appraisal processes, as well as to heed them in their respective work roles. Their organisational roles, and partly in technical deficiencies and the unwise management of appraisal policies and procedures. (ii) Another faulty assumption is that managers take a particular appraisal system as perfect and feel that once they have launched a programme, that would continue forever. They expect too much from it, and rely too much on it, or blame for their faults. It should be recognised that...

Our next step is to develop a performance and career management program that continues to work in alignment with the company’s new strategic direction.

...provide comments. The person who receives feedback also fills out a self-rating survey which includes the same survey queries that others receive in their forms. Leaders and Managers use 360 feedback surveys to obtain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. The 360 feedback system automatically provides the results in a tabulated format which helps the feedback recipient to create a development plan. Individual responses are always combined with responses from other peoples in the same rating category. 360 Feedback is a development tool for people who are not in a management role. A non-manager is not measuring 360 feedbacks since there does not have direct reports, but the same principles are followed. These feedbacks are helpful for non-managers to be more effective in their roles and also help them to understand what areas they should improve on if they want to move into a management role. Companies use the 360 Degree Feedback in two ways. Development Tool: 360 Feedback is used a development tool to help employees recognize their strengths and weaknesses and become more effective.

...JDT2 Task 3 A1. Benefits There is significant purpose behind performance appraisals and they should be taken seriously to be effective for the employee and the employer. The main benefits that can result from a well performed performance appraisal is increased communication, understanding employees goals, and that it provides an opportunity for the employee to learn about what they are doing well, and where they can improve. “An effective appraisal may not only eliminate behavior and work-quality problems, it can motivate an employee to contribute more” (Bigelow, 2014). Overall this reflects well on the employee because it provides them with clear direction in where they need to be headed as far as organizational goals and personal goals are concerned. In addition it provides the employee with an understanding of their personal strengths and weaknesses as well as what their role is in the organization. Appraisals offer designated time where the employee and their supervisor are able to communicate and create a common ground for the both of them to know where each person is coming from. This in turn benefits the employer because the employee then knows the path they are on and how they can improve themselves or keep up the hard work they are already doing for the company. Appraisals when delivered well provide the employer the opportunity to recognize the employee for any achievements. This strengthens the employee-company relationship substantially. Having a designated time...
