How Do Performance Appraisals Help Recognize and Enhance Employee Potential?

Dear all, people differ in their abilities and their aptitudes. There is always some difference between the quality and quantity of the same work on the same job being done by two different people.

Performance Appraisals of Employees

Performance appraisals are necessary to understand each employee's abilities, competencies, and relative merit and worth for the organization. Performance appraisal rates the employees in terms of their performance. So create a policy for your golden employees and improve their quality.

I beg to differ. The solution is competence mapping, not the one you have suggested. I am a certified Performance & Competence Developer from CAMI.

Hi friends, I need help. My friend recently joined a company and has to prepare an appraisal policy for employees. Can anyone help in preparing the framework for the appraisal? Please give your valuable suggestions. Waiting for your reply as soon as possible.

Thank you.

There are so many views and opinions on performance appraisals. But, the true performance appraisal should only be an "assessment of actual performance within a specified period" and nothing else. Better, it should be an assessment of the pre-agreed performance objectives/targets set at the beginning of the performance period.

Performance Appraisal and Potentials

Performance Appraisal should never be linked to the assessment of "potentials" (or capabilities) because potentials are never performed. Employees can have all the best potentials (or even competencies) but may not be able to perform outstandingly due to many factors, such as a bad or negative attitude or resentment towards the company.

Performance Management Policy

The Performance Management Policy should provide a very clear guideline on its implementation and results interpretation to eliminate confusion and post-implementation problems.

Best regards.

Please share the performance appraisal policy.
