Title: APPRAISAL


1
APPRAISAL
  • An evaluation into the progress and work of an
    employee over a period of time.
  • Appraisal is part of the job for any person who
    is responsible for the work of other people
  • In theory it takes place each time a manager
    checks the work of an employee
  • Carried out by your line manager
  • Some businesses now have more formal systems,
    involving an appraisal form and interview
  • There are also SELF-APPRAISALS and PEER
    APPRASIALS
  • Appraisals are used to
  • To improve personal job performance
  • Reward and identify good work and progress
  • To identify training / development needs
  • Provide employees with feedback about their
    efforts and work
  • Increase motivation (looking where employees can
    develop)
  • Provide evidence for Performance Related Pay
  • Identify potential for promotion
  • Evaluate the efficiency of recruitment and
    selection techniques

APPRAISAL METHODS
  • Ranking
  • Simple and crude method. Rank employees in order
    of best and worst. Advantages are that it is
    easy to do and reasonably accurate. But it
    doesnt provide much information. What is the
    difference between the best and the worst? What
    training is required? How much should they be
    paid etc. None of these are answered.
  • 2) Grading
  • Several key job criteria are chosen for a
    particular group of staff, e.g. planning,
    relationships, attendances etc. Then each worker
    is graded along a 4 or 5 point dimension. This
    can however be very subjective.
  • Grading may indicate some training needs and some
    of the staff who deserve higher wages BUT there
    are still problems quantifying how much the best
    is better than the worst.
  • 3) Rating
  • Most common. Appraiser chooses 1 of 5 statements
    relating to job criteria. Allows appraiser to be
    more definite in the assessment of each
    criterion. This method should provide more
    information to answer the 3 questions relating to
    performance, pay and prospects.

CRITICISMS OF APPRAISAL
  • The problem with all these aims is that they can
    be CONFLICTING
  • If it is used to improve performance and to award
    extra pay- workers will not discuss problems as
    this may effect pay, and the appraiser finds it
    difficult to be impartial on both areas.
  • So you must be clear about what is the purpose of
    the Appraisal and make sure that it doesnt have
    any hidden agendas.
  • Other problems
  • Workers can become resentful if their work is
    criticised- leading to de-motivation and
    productivity problems.
  • People dont know how to appraise properly and
    the form is badly designed.
  • Person appraising doesnt fully understand the
    job of the worker.
  • The worker must feel that they are having an
    input into their appraisal.
  • Some jobs are difficult to appraise especially if
    discussing performance.
  • The appraisal is not followed up with any action.
