Using an Appraisal to Benefit Your Organization
PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS BENEFIT THE ORGANIZATION: Appraisals help spot employees with potential for advancement. Appraisals bring attention to the so-called high-potentials - people who have both the will and the ability to excel in the organization. Appraisals can also aid in the human resource planning of the organization. --Appraisals provide management with a profile of the supervisor. One important incentive for supervisors to do appraisals expertly is that higher management can observe their skills in managing and developing their staff. --Appraisals help ensure that everyone is working in the same direction. During the evaluation meeting, supervisors can convey the mission and goals of the organization to their employees. --Ultimately, individual performance is judged by contribution to these overall goals. These are all reasons why giving a good appraisal interview is essential. GIVING A GOOD APPRAISAL INTERVIEW: Following the discussion, allow the employee time to reflect on the discussion and provide comments on the appraisal form. Any discussion on performance, formal or informal, if carried out successfully, can have a positive effect on everyone involved (supervisor, employee, and organization). Such review can build mutual credibility and trust and help develop better communication. In most cases employees want to do a good job. They want to grow and be more knowledgeable and skilled in the future. The organization and management need to make a commitment to that goal in order to make full use of the human resource potential they have. Share this goal with employees as well. GOALS (AT WORK) IN AN ORGANIZATION: Reflect the shared vision of the leaders or founders of that organization. --Help achieve the aim and purpose of the organization. --Communicate the organization's vision and purpose to the employees who will carry out the plan. --Integrate the organization's goals with the goals of its employees in order to achieve growth and profitability.
