Performance Assessment

NotesQuiz

EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Judgements and choices about people have to be made within all organisations, and for the sake of everyone involved, it is desirable that they should be made on the basis of systematic evaluation rather than casually, and known to be made in a way which is as fair and acceptable as possible.

Performance appraisal may be defined as ‘the regular and systematic review of performance and the assessment of potential with the aim of producing action programmes to develop both work and individuals’.

Performance appraisal aims to improve the efficiency of the organisation by ensuring that the individual employees are performing to the best of their ability and developing their potential for improvement.

Appraisal schemes can contribute usefully to all or many of the organisational objectives and thus they should be considered of utmost significance.
