Why “Conducting Effective Performance Appraisals” Matters:

Every company will define recognizable accomplishments differently, but it’s important to have a reward system in place.

Performance appraisals help guide employee progress. Effective performance appraisals continue to refine the initial job description of what is expected of employees as they learn new skills and gain experience.

Improved performance is another benefit of effective job appraisals. Whether making good performance better or correcting poor performance, performance appraisals are an important step in identifying the situation and laying out the course for improvement.

Performance appraisals can help boost morale to motivate employees through a recognized and defined reward system as well as provide documentation of performance issues, disciplinary actions, and written goals—all signed by the involved parties.

Key Points:

• You must conduct objective appraisals on a scheduled basis.
• Appraisals tell employees how they’re doing and how they can improve.
• And, appraisals help create a system of motivation and rewards based on performance.
