Employee appraisal examples




Most organisations have some form of performance appraisal system for staff. These
range from once a year meetings to rolling monthly appraisals with numerous variations
in between. Appraisals when done well are valued by employees whatever level they
operate at. On the other hand done badly they can be a huge de-motivator. Conducting a
powerful performance appraisal does not happen by chance. So how can you make
performance appraisals more powerful?

Be prepared

Preparation is key for both the manager who will be carrying out the appraisal and the
employee who is being appraised. Allow employees some time ahead of the appraisal
session to reflect on what they have achieved, learned and want to develop. Make this
time available during the working day. It gives a message that you care about the
employee. If you are the appraiser, collect a range of feedback on the employee from a
number of sources rather than relying on what is fresh in your memory from recent
dealings with the employee. Even better start to keep a log of achievements and
encourage employees to do the same.

Focus on the person not the process

Have you ever had an appraisal where the appraiser seemed to be more concerned about
completing the paper work rather than you? Sadly this is all too common. Remember the
paper work is a means to an end not an end in itself. A simple but effective way of
making sure you address all of the paper work requirements but really focuses on the
person is to have a simple agenda.

Listen more talk less

The bulk of your time as an appraiser should be spent on listening. If you have prepared
well and use good open questions in the appraisal meeting, listening becomes easy. For
example, what do you believe you have done particularly well this year gives the
employee the opportunity to talk and you to listen to their achievements.

No surprises

If there have been performance issues during the year, these should have been dealt with
at the time and a way forward agreed. The appraisal is not the place to start raising major
performance issues. Nor is it a time to surprise the employee. Avoid surprises if you want
to conduct powerful performance appraisals.

Allocate sufficient time
Most employees only get the opportunity a few times each year to sit down with their
manager and talk about themselves, so make sure that you allocate sufficient time for the
meeting. There is no hard and fast rule on this but in my experience anything less than
one hour is likely to be too short. It is better to allow more time than you think you need
and finish early rather than rushing against the clock.

Conducting powerful performance appraisals can be hugely rewarding for the employee
and the manager. So what's the next step you to become a better appraiser?
