Performance Appraisal is integral part of Performance Mgt system dealing with:
* Giving effective feedback
* Handling difficult messages
* Setting achievable goals and expectations
* Supporting other people's development
* Using acknowledgement and praise
* Dealing with issues as they arise
* Avoiding escalating problems
* Seeing things from other points of view
* Dealing with yours and other people's feelings
* Dealing with difficult or tricky people
* Building confidence and morale
* Setting effective boundaries
* Knowing what to do when the goal posts change
* Tools for day-to-day Performance Management

Hi!

Performance Appraisal (PA) refers to the "one-stage system" of assessing and/ or evaluating the performance of employees. Under this system, the organization issues out an appraisal sheet to managers (ususally once or twice per year) to be filled out and returned within a specific timeline/ deadline. The results are used as basis for promotion, cash awards, and or sanctions.

A Performance Management System (PMS) refers to a multi-stage system in managing employee performance within organizations. In our (Emilla Consulting) PMS, there are five (5) stages, namely:

1. Performance Planning

2. Performance Review and Assessment

3. Performance Conference & Feedback

4. Improvement & Development Planning

5. Recognition, Rewards, & Sanctions

The PA is considered an old and outdated methodology because it has been accused of bias, favoritism, subjectivity, etc. Moreover, many organizations, employees, and industrial courts worldwide have clamored for a more objective and credible tools that can withstand scrutiny when its results are used as basis for promotion, cash awards, and/ or sanctions like demotion or dismissal.
