Managing The Staff Appraisals
The beginning of the year is normally the time when companies are in the process of reviewing the staff. If handled correctly, regular staff appraisals will make a major contribution to keeping staff interested in their work, committed and motivated. Here are our top 6 MUST and MUST NOT:
| MUST |
MUST NOT |
||
| 1. EVALUATE WORK PERFORMANCE: | Provide appropriate support and guidance to the appraisee. |
Be overprotective and create dependency on the part of the appraisee. | |
| 2. ACKNOWLEDGE CONTRIBUTION: | Assess what people DO or are not doing, i.e. behaviour and performance. |
Attempt to restructure individuals personality, i.e. what they ARE. | |
| 3. IDENTIFY STRENGTHS: | Deal with issues that are within the scope of the appraisal and the authority of the appraiser. |
Broaden the appraisal into a general discussion without appropriate focus. | |
| 4. IDENTIFY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS: | Discuss the appraisee, the appraisee's job and their aspirations. |
Discuss third parties. | |
| 5. ASSESS POTENTIAL: | Plan ahead, agree objectives, targets and goals. |
Apportion blame, attack or generalise. | |
| 6. AGREE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT: | Build on and enhance relationships and plan to improve performance. |
Demonstrate a lack of commitment to the process. |
