Performance appraisal is the systematic evaluation of the performance of the employees and to understand the abilities of a person for further growth and development. Performance appraisal is generally done in systematic ways.

Performance appraisal involves managers and their staff members meeting on a one-on-one basis at regular intervals (at least annually) to discuss work performance in relation to:


  • Execution of roles and responsibilities 
  • The requirement of the organization and individuals' contribution to the achievement of the organization's objectives.


Effective performance appraisal relies on clear performance standard being established and discussed with employees. Using these standards, appraisal involves:

  • Observing the employee's work behavior and results and comparing them against the agreed standards.
  • Evaluating job performance and the employee's development potential.
  • Providing feedback to the employee
  • Acting on the result of the appraisal process, for example through promotion, reward and recognition, counselling, training, or in some cases termination.   

Performance appraisal is one of the most important factors in any organization and also a great tool used to record productivity. Every organization has to have goals and objectives established and every employee has to to be involved in the process. Also conducting a performance appraisal will improve productivity and also the morale of the employees. 

Appraisal are a positive way for a manager to let the employees know how well they are performing the duties that are assigned to them.

    Performance appraisal today mostly concentrate quantitative aspects while giving less importance to qualitative outcomes. It's the volumes organizations talk about when evaluating people but not the quality of service they provide. Whilst it's true that we cannot calculate qualitative aspects as we measure quantitative performances. But we need to devise proper systems to detect qualitative aspects too like customer complaints, effort made by staff to develop fellow staff etc.

      I'm totally agree with you, most of organizations considered only the quantative factors and neglect the qualitative factors. It would be a reason to demotivate the staff.

    The purpose of a performance appraisal system is to evaluate how well an employee performs her job duties and tasks, her supervisory and leadership capabilities and other soft skills, and how well she manages workplace relationships and conflict resolution.
