Appraisal

What Does an Appraisal Involve?
An appraisal is commonly a formal meeting between you and the employee where a performance evaluation can be made with the comments and opinions of both.

The complexity and depth that you go into will relate to what you are trying to achieve from the appraisal. This will be outlined further in the next section.

The evaluation is recorded and a copy is kept by yourself and the employee who will use it as feed-back to act on anything that has been suggested or commented on. The evaluation that has been recorded will further be used in the next formal appraisal to determine the level of improvement by the employee during that period.
Psychometric reports offer a huge amount of information to help both individuals and their managers gain a better understanding of motivations and approaches to work.
