How to conduct performance appraisal?

Question

How to conduct performance appraisal?

Answer 1

A very open ended question....

Some principles:

In PRIVATE

Openly deal with the behaviours exhibited

Segregate behaviour from person

Start with what is good

Finish with what is good

Define performance standards required where performance is unsatisfactory

Analyse causes (not symptoms) and put a plan in place to address them, include TIMEFRAMES

DOCUMENT the outcomes and agree to review periods

Carry out the reviews and DOCUMENT those

Deal with every performance issue, where there are too many to deal with them all, use the initial meeting to outline the issues, then set a timetable to deal with the totallity.... alternatively, cut your losses.

Prior planning .... have the list of behaviours, dates times and places ready
