Appraisal Feedback Communication

Hi All,
During communicating the appraisal feedback to the employees do we tell them their scores?? or do we just inform them about their revised salary without disclosing the scores??
What are the industry practices??

Hi
Ideally one must give a feedback if you expect the employee to improve. Without a feedback how can one know areas of improvement.
However giving a feedback presupposes that your appraisal system is of a high standard, it is objective and it has the right checks and balances to generate data that can be interpreted to give objective feedback rather than mere scores.
Ultimately it depends on the Company policy whether to communicate the feedback or not.
Hope you can implement the ideal feedback mechanism.
Regards

With due apologies to Jacob, if a company has a policy of not diclosing the scores then its PA scheme would not be considered effective. Here is a useful guide for PA by ACAS, UK. Please see http://www.acas.org.uk/media/pdf/7/j/B10_1.pdf
Have a nice day.

Hi there,
When talking about communication is always a tow way. Communication has never been a one way method.
The type of communication you talk about is appraisal, i.e. your evaluating employee performance and achievement. You Cannot expect to improve their performance, attitudes, thinking if the management does not communicate their views about it.
Once performance appraisal is being filled by both parties employee and manager then the employee is entitled to a session with head of department to discuss their performance. The idea of evaluating performance is to improve and develop.
It is very important to keep communication channels open & with positive flow
