 Appraisals
should be carried out both systematically and consistently.
It is a system that can both reward and discipline employees,
a means by which employees can be coached and counselling
and a vehicle through with improvements to performance
levels can be negotiated. It also provides an opportunity
for discussion about ways in which the working environment
can be improved so as to facilitate better performance
on the part of individuals and groups of staff. Moreover,
it has the potential to fulfil a range of other organisational
objectives to include raising the morale of employees,
help clarify expectations and duties, improve upward an
downward communication, reinforce management control,
help validate selection decisions, provide information
to support them in their role, identify development opportunities
and improve workforce perception of organisational goals.
It can also be used to provide information on which
to base the selection of individuals for promotion and
redundancy.
