Introduction:
‘The challenge for managers in performance appraisals is to ensure that trust and honesty are developed with staff. This can only be achieved through effective communication and interactions during day-to-day workplace activities and feedback during the appraisal period The term performance appraisal has been called by many names, including performance review, performance evaluation, personnel rating, merit rating, employee appraisal or employee evaluation. A performance appraisal has been defined as any personnel decision that affects the status of employee regarding their retention, termination, promotion, transfer, salary increase or decrease, or admission into a training program.
What is a Performance Appraisal:
Tovey defines performance appraisals as ‘a specific communication, facilitated by the appraiser, about the existing work performance and the planning of the future performance of an individual’. Appraisals are a vital part of our living, without appraisals on the importance of particular efforts, actions, people, equipment and materials, our decision making would be messed up because we would be incapable of establishing priorities, or the worth of doing something over another.
