Introduction to appraisals

For most staff, regardless of how their performance is measured, their appraisal interview is the only time that they can sit down with their manager and concentrate exclusively on their overall performance, as opposed to every-day task-related progress. That is why many staff treat appraisal very seriously and can be considerably demotivated if the appraisal interview is rushed or interrupted, making them feel that their work is neither valued nor understood.

It is important that staff understand the appraisal process, especially if they are new, or if a new appraisal system has been introduced. Otherwise, staff may be suspicious of the process: viewing the changes as an opportunity for management to avoid handing out expected performance-related increases or promotions.

That is why it is important to schedule adequate uninterrupted time in a suitably private setting for the staff appraisal interview, and to take time to listen to feedback and comments from the employee.

If a new appraisal scheme has been introduced, the employees who will be affected need to be briefed on the aims and benefits of the new scheme and the procedures need to be explained. There should be an opportunity for employees to voice any concerns that they may have about the new scheme. Once these are out in the open they can be addressed and hopefully alleviated.

IMPLEMENTING THE APPRAISAL

The key aspects of implementation are:

1. Pre-Appraisal Preparation

  • Pre-appraisal meeting explaining appraisal process and objectives.

  • Issue appraisal form for both appraiser and appraisee to complete prior to meeting.

2. Appraisal Meeting

  • Build rapport with appraisee and put them at their ease.

  • Arrange the setting so both you and the appraisee can give the appraisal your undivided attention.

  • Set and agree the agenda with the appraisee.

3. Review Previous Results

  • Ask questions.

  • Allow appraisee to present self assessment on past performance.

  • Feedback from manager with further input from appraisee.

4. Set Future Objectives

  • Set SMART goals and objectives (see page 43) with emphasis on joint agreement.

5. Agree Appraisal

  • Both parties agree appraisal outcomes in writing and sign off the appraisal form

6. Follow Up

  • Regularly review to set objectives; update and review; evaluate and refocus.
