PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE APRASAL
Performance appraisal is processes consists with six steps as mentioned below
ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCESTANDARDS
The overall view of the setting performance standards is
to ensure meeting the set goals and objectives of the organization which is parallel
with the strategic plan. Standards are aimed on the position not for an individuals.
Not only the objectives should be clear and specific but also setting standards
should be “SMART:” specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound
COMMUNICATE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Lessor and insufficient idea about the performance standards may creates a conflict which may cause a collateral damage for the organization bottom line and even for the image of the organization
Therefore to be effective ,performance standards must be clearly communicate without any misinterpretation.. Performance standards assume that an
individual is competent, so initial and corrective training should be factored
into the performance management process. As a example if a particular training program is planned to develop specific skill and a competent which after certain period after the training, that should be clearly mentioned in the guided standards
MESURE PERFORMANCE
Performance measurements can be done in quantitative and qualitative means .Accordingly assessing quantitative is much more easier that the measurement of qualitative aspects
Using a variety of sources of information including personal observation, oral reports and written reports may use to measure soft skills.. However, that what is measured is probably more critical than how an aspect is measured. The focus should be on measuring what matters rather than measuring what’s easy to measure. (Verhulst and DeCenzo, 2019)
COMPARE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
In this step of performance appraisal process actual performance made in a particular time period is compared with the stated performance standards .All the information related to the criticism or appraisal should be properly documented
Characteristics of effective documentation
- Accurate
- Specific
- Consistent (covering the entire review period)
- Factual (not based on conjecture)
- Balanced, including instances of both positive and unsatisfactory performance
- In writing
DISCUSS THE APRASAL WITH EMPLOYEE
This is the process that managing is most challenging despite the outcome is positive or negative. A significant difference of opinion regarding performance can create an emotionally and even physically charge situation which may hard to dealt with .Hence timely and at the point of the malpractice or an issue raised up a manager should address. Thereby thies kind of challenging situation is easy to manager rather than reviewing it annually
On the other hand to arrest the situation like thies management can can ask employees to complete and submit a self-evaluation prior to the appraisal meeting. .Also a manager should be clear minded and should inculcate the ability to remain calm where is impact will significant impact on the employee’s confidence, motivation and future performance.
IMPLEMENT PERSONAL ACTION
The final step of a appraisal process is the implementation process which collude the entire process by implementation of any next steps:. Pay rais, Promotion, Termination of service, Transferring, or succession plan on next years are the examples for the would adopt.
However as a manager he or she should be execute correction plan or value addition plan to the employee for the coming evaluation period
