How Do You Create An Employee Performance Appraisal?
An employee performance appraisal is the most important component of your employee development plan. It gives you the opportunity to reinforce the standards you have set in your organization, correct behavior that does not meet those standards and praise those behaviors that do. The key to creating an employee performance appraisal, therefore, is to focus on standards and behavior. You can’t write an accurate performance appraisal unless you have set and communicated clear standards and then observed how well your employees have met them. Take notes over the course of the rating period on your employee’s performance. These notes should highlight actions taken by the employee that meets, exceeds or falls short of the standard that is being measured. In general, these notes should be quantifiable. For example, if the employee is regularly late, you should be able to look at your notes and find out how many times he was late during the rating period. Prepare for the performance appraisal
