Performance Appraisal is a tool to assess an employee's performance in job behavior with standard work expectations according to job and role analysis. Performance Management involves managing the overall performance of an employee for present as well as future requirements. Every worker has past experience, knowledge levels, and present skill levels, which aid in acquiring knowledge for future jobs and shaping the right attitude towards future job goals. Performance management helps individuals sharpen their present skills and knowledge levels, as well as acquire future potential through human development.
