Performance Appraisal

A performance appraisal is a formal evaluation process in which an employer assesses an employee’s job performance, skills, and contributions to the organization over a specific period. The appraisal typically includes feedback on strengths, areas for improvement, and overall performance relative to the job’s expectations and goals. Performance appraisals may also involve goal setting for the future, development plans, and decisions regarding promotions, salary increases, or other personnel actions. Appraisals can be conducted through self-assessments, peer reviews, or manager assessments, and are a valuable tool for employee development, motivation, and performance management.
