EXERCISE

Opening the Appraisal and Questioning the Candidate:

APPRAISEE – ACCOUNTS ASSISTANT

You are appraising a member of your staff, Janine, who has been with the organisation for just over one year, having joined straight from college where she had completed a business and finance qualification.

On the whole, you are quite happy with her performance as an accounts assistant. She is bright, picks things up quickly and is easy-going; other staff members within the department like her as a person.

However, in the last two months she has been showing signs of boredom. She has been late on several occasions and has been sullen when this has been raised. Her work is not as accurate as it was; she has made several silly mistakes – and last week went home without completing some records you were waiting to consolidate. This caused you a major headache.

You are about to carry out Janine’s annual appraisal.

(a) Prepare for this appraisal by identifying how you will open and structure the interview.

 

 

 

 

(b) Prepare the questions you will ask.

 

 

 

 

c) Find someone who you will role-play with, one of you playing the role of Janine and one of you the appraiser.
