As an HR professional, part of your job is to ensure a smooth and transparent performance appraisal process. In most cases, you will find that both managers and employees are hesitant about participating in the formal review process. Reflect on some of your previous experiences with annual, biannual, or quarterly performance appraisals. Was there a particular style or approach that you preferred either as an HR manager or employee? Was the appraisal evaluative, summative, or formative? Do you believe the type of appraisal impacted your overall view of the process? Keep these thoughts in mind as you prepare for this week’s assignment.
