How Is Feedback Given to the Employee From a Performance Appraisal?
Performance appraisals may be used to communicate information to employees regarding their knowledge, skills and ability to perform their job according to set goals. Employers may conduct such appraisals on an anniversary date, at the beginning of a calendar year or on a date established for companywide evaluations. A company may prefer not to appraise new employees until they have worked six months to a year, in order to collect sufficient data regarding performance.
