CONCLUSIONThe appraisal process is a mutual activity of problem-solving.It’s not about blaming. It’s about looking forward not backward.If workers and appraisers do not accept the appraisal system, it willbe ineffective regardless of its degree of technical soundness.
Page 35
In order to gain the most benefit from performance appraisals it is recommended that a system is developed in consultation with workers and managers, and clear links are established between appraisals and valued rewards and outcomes. If resources permit, information on work performance should be obtained from multiple sources. Performance appraisals can be a powerful tool for increasing motivation and improving work practice if conducted in a constructive, open and supportive manner.
