Performance appraisals are essential for the effective management and evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve organizational performance, and "feed" the business planning, personnel infrastructure, and position succession planning and development process.
A performance appraisal policy should meet certain requirements:
- Employees must feel there is a direct relationship between their work and the rewards they receive
- Goals established by managers and supervisors, with the employee, must be clear
- Employees must feel that the performance appraisal policy is fair, accurate, and consistently applied.
- It should establish individual training requirements for career and succession planning
Performance appraisals should be positive experiences, fostering positive relationships between management and staff - not something that is looked upon with fear and resentment, or is used to handle disciplinary issues.
I2 HR can assist you in developing a performance appraisal policy, a procedural process, the required documentation, and assist in the needs analysis to identify areas for performance improvement, that:
- Communicates organizational goals and their relationship to the individual
- Measures the degree to which an employee's performance reached the established objectives and performance factors
- Recognizes the employee's contribution
- Clarifies expectations and actions to improve performance
- Allows the employee to express opinions regarding performance related issues, in a non-threatening environment
- Obtains mutual agreement on necessary actions
- Plans growth and development opportunities for the employee
- Establishes objectives and standards for the next evaluation period
