CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE APPRAISALTIPS IN CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Performance appraisal is certainly one of the much awaited moments for employees of a company. This is where employees would know how they fair as employees in the eyes of their superiors.

Performance Appraisal is the time when the management reviews the performance of employees for a specific period of time. Some companies opt to connect performance appraisal with the salary increment. However, I don’t recommend it until such time that you have well studied your system and had tried it for a considerable length of time to test its validity and check some loopholes.

Performance Appraisal could be a dreaded experience to some who doesn’t have the skill to do it right.  So let me share with you some tips on how to do it. Feel free to write your message below should you need help.

CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

BEFORE THE REVIEW

Set the date and time in advance that is mutually convenient for both you and the employee, and that will allow enough time for each of you to do preparation.

Review your references: the job description and key performance indicators; work rules and procedures; employees’ logbook and your documentation notes; any feedback from internal or external customers; current disciplinary memos if there is any; the previous performance review report

If you have asked the employee to do a self-review, be sure to give him time and have it early so you can prepare.

Remember to avoid:

  • the tendency to overrate a favored employee;
  • become too strict or too lenient;
  • the tendency to rate an employee lower than circumstances warrant;
  • letting outstanding work [or unsatisfactory work] immediately prior to the evaluation offset an entire year of performance;
  • Rating all your employees, or groups of employees the same.

Be prepared spiritually and emotionally especially when reviewing a problematic employee.

DURING THE REVIEW

  • Put the employee comfortable and relax.
  • Explain the purpose of the review.
  • Be mindful of your body language: good eye contact; attentive posture.
  • Remind yourself that you are evaluating the performance and not the personality
  • Ask the employee for ideas about how to resolve problems.
  • Emphasize not only the  areas that need improvement but the strengths of course
  • Be honest and be prepared to discuss questionable items.
  • Don’t forget to set the Performance Optimization Plan or Performance Improvement Plan

Closing and follow-up

  • End on a positive note.
  •  You should sign the review as well as the employee. The employee may opt to file an appeal to the HR if he or she is not amenable with the result.
  • Follow up developments on the set Performance Optimization Plan.

    This article reminds me when I was working at Dualtech Center Foundation in Canlubang, Laguna. If I will be given a chance to work there, I will be grateful to do so. Why? Of all the institutions that I worked for, only this institution gives an appraisal for their employees. Every end of their will be a performance appraisal and it always entails an increase of the basic monthly salary if the management is well satisfied of your performance. I really feel that the management or the institution as a whole valued all their workers. And I really appreciate that as well. The only problem was that me and my other half agreed to transfer here in Bacolod because of the bad traffic in Manila that is why I resigned.

    Performance appraisal (PA) is a useful tool on accessing one employee on how he/she perform in a certain period. This can be a nerve-wrecking experience to any employee, exciting, it tackles the areas that needs improvement and best contributions to any organizations. Performance appraisal can really be quite tricky as some department heads/managers tend to favor some. This is where the value of an effective leader and fairness comes into play. An effective department heads/managers should be able to set their personal interest aside and give a just/fair performance appraisal to subordinates/employees. But somehow, performance appraisal is very important in the company because it could be an outlet to improve and develop the performance of an employee. To improve the PA, there should be regular coaching and feedback which helps the managers and supervisors focus on empowering employees and given them an opportunity to improve their individual performance. Also, performance appraisal is done to determine whether the employees should be retained, promoted or transferred. It can be the basis in wage or salary adjustments. Lastly, there is no perfect performance appraisal but it provides a rational basis for constructing a merit system and implementing strategic goals and performance expectations.

    Performance assessments enhance employee morale by motivating them to work harder to meet the organization’s objectives. Businesses can use appraisals to establish guidelines for finding the best candidates for advancement, assessing employee strengths and weaknesses, and delivering constructive feedback. Employees that have a history of working hard or going above and beyond the call of duty are frequently recognized with performance reviews. Employers can track employee performance in a variety of methods, including regular one-on-one meetings and formal evaluations based on KPIs. Managers can use this information to assist their employees in charting a successful career path that includes improving their performance and learning new skills. Performance assessments are an important part of the talent management process because they ensure that businesses do all possible to keep high-performing personnel. A performance appraisal has the ability to boost employee engagement, communication, transparency, and recognition when it is given.

    Based on the article of Dr. Vito on the “Tips in Conducting Effective Performance Appraisal” it gives us the ideas on how to properly conduct a performance appraisal as an employer. A guide similar to a job interview which is more formal because the discussion will greatly affect the mindset of the employee.

    In the performance appraisal both employer and employee must set a target KPI (Key Performance Indicators) at the start of the year. Then during the evaluation or year end assessment the employer and employee must set a date to discuss and analysis the agreed KPI. The employee must be given the chance to rate his own performance and then the employer must also assess and evaluate the rating of the employee and the both parties must agreed on the common rate. Action plans to be prepared or to be discussed if there will be any KPI which have not attained or completed by the employee.

    In addition, the employer or the immediate superior must be sensitive enough on the reaction of the employee. He must properly convey the purpose and the benefits of the evaluation. He must not degrade any non-performance or deficiency of the employee.

    Effective Performance Appraisal will benefit both the management and the employee. the results of the appraisal will give the management idea what to improve on and or continue to develop in the performance of the employee. The employee will also be able to gauge himself and look at his performance objectively. This can also foster growth in the working relationship of the employee and the management. Unfortunately in my work experience, i was previously employed on short term (1yr-2yrs) projects and now currently connected with the LGU, performance appraisal is not conducted. With short term projects everything ends once the project is completed. With the LGU “Performance” is based on politics.

    Performance appraisal is an important process within the organization. It allows the managers to determine whether or not the employee is performing well or not. I would agree to the statement above that it “could be a dreaded experience to some who doesn’t have the skill to do it right”. One must be aware of the circumstances during the process of appraisal. On a positive note, performance appraisal can be used to determine whether your employees need trainings or upskilling to catch-up with uncertain work situations. In the end, performance appraisal is an important tool that can be used to help the company with its growth by evaluating the current performances of the employees.

    The article Tips in Conducting Effective Appraisal (pinoybizniz.com) by Dr. Mariaito “Jojo” Vito gave tips on administering performance appraisal. The author provided appraisal techniques before, during, and after to make it more effective.

    The discussion will be helpful to the management that is going to conduct a performance review. The process should have the preparation and planning for both employees and management. Performance appraisal is an essential strategy that will determine whether the staff is doing well or not. Also, after the coaching and training, it will answer if those strategies are effective. A professional HR manager and the management also challenge during this period. They have to provide feedback for their strong and weak employees in a pleasant way. They also have to avoid favoritism. Appraise their people according to their performance and not on their relationship. Besides, they have to keep a good setting and comfortable interaction during the assessment to ease employees. It is challenging for the management. They have to be fair and productive despite a hectic schedule and lots of works to do. Appreciating the employees and letting them feel to be valued is also one of their responsibilities. This strategy will instill loyalty towards the company and will encourage them to perform well as well.

    In conclusion, the management has a great responsibility in appraising employee’s performance. They have to be fair, from addressing the weaknesses up to appreciating their people. Valuing people will boost their morale and relationship with the company that will result in productivity. Making them loyal will promote equity and save money than recruiting a new one. It is just a matter of appreciation, yet the impact affects the company negatively or positively depending on the management’s approach.

    It is always a good way to end a performance evaluation with a review of the results with the employee involved. It is a way for the company to show sincerity in their employees work performance that they are demanding a better output from them. Having post evaluation reviews with the employees also promote intemacy with the company in such way that workers will feel more responsible for their work since it is closely keep track of and not as a passive event in during their time in the company. Also  it is a great way for the company to show appreciation to their employees for the reason that they are not only called out when they are prerforming poorly but also when a potential improvement could be done to their work, and much more for an outstanding perfomance.

    Performance appraisal is one of the strategic tools of HR in determining the right employees and assessing their performance. It is also a better basis to evaluate employee’s contribution to the company, their skills, achievement, areas to be developed, a means of promotion, and sometimes a salary increase. Thus, rationale and expertise in doing this are a must for a fair judgment, smooth flow of conversation, and good results.
    In doing so, the HR manager should be mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually prepared to have better, if not the best outcomes. No one is perfect, and everybody is entitled to commit mistakes. However, this should not be an excuse because the employee’s future in the company relies on HR’s hands.
    To conclude, performance appraisal is essential in running the organization in the company. As HR, they should be the source of motivation for their employees to pursue their dreams for themselves. After all, their personal growth and development will eventually lead to the growth and development of the company. Meaning, HR should serve their purpose to be a part of changing their employees’ lives for the betterment and not to destroy their dreams of committing simple mistakes.

    Performance appraisal can motivate employees to perform well in the company. But it could also spark rivalry, lessen teamwork, and develop inferiority that one is better than the other. Therefore it is crucial that performance appraisal should be determined accordingly.
    This article provides a clear view on how performance appraisal should be done and applied effectively. performance should be measured properly, we can not improve things we cannot measure. Though tools were not mentioned in the article I think it is one thing to consider.
    Regardless of the approach of conducting performance appraisal the expected outcome is to determine how the employees performed their job in accordance with the standard set by the company. That can be achieved through the following tips provided in this article which is before the review, during the review and after the review or closing and follow up.

  15. Looking at the bigger picture, in general, I think giving performance appraisal is the oldest method of encouraging your employees. There is a fine line between giving a good and bad performance appraisal. When can you determine that the motivator that you offer to your employee is still competitive and could produce a productive environment inside your organization? All high level managers should keep in mind when giving performance appraisal that employee personal reward and the organization’s performance should be on the same level and feedback also be provided to the appraiser too. This way, there will be no bias and the loyalty and trust of the lower level employees are maintained.

  17. The article talks about what to do when doing an interview to a new employee. that as the HR/HRD we should be set the date and time that will be agreed by both of you, that during the interview both you and the employee should act like professionals so as to make a somewhat “simulation” of when if he/she will ever be hired, but at the sometime both of you should not be tensed and should be relaxed as it helps set the homey atmosphere for both of you.

    On my end, I think one of the important things should the management consider before making an appraisal is to know the job of each employee. Also, the management or the human resource should know the transaction or process flow of each department. Performance Appraisal is a measurement, how will you measure the ability or performance of one individual if you do not know what is her/his job is?

    Performance appraisal is one of the important strategies in an organization, as it determines whether the employee is performing well or not, it determines whether the employee improves after the continues coaching and training that the company provided, it determines the employees weakness and strengths and how to compensate the weakness through feedbacking, As a superior that appraises the employee, it must be based on their performance, on how well the employee performs his/her duties in a timely manner, favouritism must be avoided. Having a comfortable interaction with the employee during the assessment makes them feel at ease and can lessen the doubt of being unfavored and criticised because of their weakness. Let the employee feel valued for this will instil loyalty towards the company and will motivate them in performing well based on the standards that the management sets.

    Performance Appraisal is not just important but necessary to both employee and organization. Having this program well-implemented shows how important are the people in the company. This shows on how they valued their people and its performances. Appraisal is the result of a collective monitoring both employee and immediate superiors.
    It is very important that individual should also record their achievements and needs for improvement. More importantly the critical incidents that they have faced and overcome. These will be helpful for them during the appraisal. It is not only that the superiors or managers has the record of your efforts and mistakes(if ever). This will only show the one side of the coin, coz not all the time you are accompanied by your boss. It is highly recommended that before the appraisal you have at least an idea what will be your rating, but humbled to accept any appreciations and feedbacks for your own development.
    During the appraisal, present also what you have done well and what you needs to improved. By this sense, it will give a high impact to your superior on how focus you are on your effort and willingness to learn and develop.
    Tips are very useful and helpful in conducting or preparing an appraisal. Doing this regularly will encourage workers to improve better, coz they know that their effort are being valued and their efforts are highly appreciated.

    Performance evaluation has three fundamental functions: (1) to provide appropriate guidance to each person on his or her performance; (2) to act as a framework for improving or adjusting actions towards more productive working habits; and (3) to provide information to management to determine potential tasks and rewards.

    Recognizing that there are several flaws in success evaluations, managers in many organizations choose not to do so. There is a strong hesitation on the side of other organizations to do them explicitly. Personal experts attribute these issues to the inability of managers to take alternative directions and to the risk of irreparably harming the self-esteem of their subordinates. In government, performance evaluation is largely a joke, and in both private and public companies, merit ratings are hollow.

    When employees receive feedback data at the time of the incident, they may be able to change their actions more quickly. Through this approach, the employee will get feedback most frequently about how to do it, and will be able to fix minor issues before they become big ones. Also, if the employee is unwilling to alter his/her actions, the fact will become clear to him/her by repeated crucial incident notes.

  25. Shanelle Anne Machan

    The following tips stated were very helpful in an organization thus Performance appraisal should be a positive experience and contribute to the overall interest of the organization. It is a very effective tool to improve ones performance, productivity and for developing your employees. It also helps the individuals to do better, raise self esteem and motivation. Also, performance monitoring with an effective feedback can produce optimal outcomes. Through improved employee observations managers or supervisors can gain a full understanding of an individuals strengths and weaknesses and to help them to grow and develop as an individual and increases their motivation to succeed.

  26. Zandra Garagara

    Feedback is very essential in performance appraisal. Providing continuous feedback to employees will let them know where they must stand out for their performance. This encourage them to work well. It must be clear and specific for them to understand well.

    In their interview, employees must put in at ease for them to express what they want to tell, what they want to listen and to solve problems to accomplished its goal. As performance appraiser the good tips is to listen them , correct them and share information necessary on how to face challenges he/she have. It is good to ask them what they worry about or how they think they are doing and the reason why they thinking of that. Better to give them example of situation and find good approach to help them perform well.

    The Filipino culture, are not very confrontational and we value reputation. Although, some supervisors try to avoid confrontation than explain how exactly an employee can improve performance, it is a supervisor’s job to critique and assess, in order to aid employees all along. However, while discussing and employee’s performance, do this in a discreet, courteous and constructive manner. It would also give a positive vibe and re enforce the drive to excel if we give more emphasis on an employee’s strength and weaknesses based on his or her performance instead of detailing the mistake made. In this way it would be a win –win scenario as it allows them to work better without feeling any level of shame that stems from their feeling of “na huy-an”

  28. SHERNIE GELERA

    These tips are very helpful especially to the supervisors, managers, and superiors in an organization. Performance appraisal will be a motivation for an employee to be efficient and effective to work sometimes because of salary increment and most of the time because of performance monitoring. This kind of discipline will also be a part of an employee’s growth.

    In a company its important that managers should treat employees equally and not just because they know each other for that will cause internal issues among employees. Therefore, I recommend that the evaluators should be objective in handling their employee performances and not be subjective. The company should organize a seminar for performance evaluation and appraisal for accurate learning of the evaluators to deepen their knowledge about performance appraisal of employees. Also, the organization should set its goals and objectives for the company’s direction and employees’ motivation.

    With these recommendations, the employee-employer relationship will progress and both parties’ growth will positively prosper.

    Another tip I want to recommend that I’ve read on how to be successful in business and on your chosen path is “ Do one thing every day that scares you”, every day is a test, every task is evaluated, every decision is counted but not everyone is brave to face their differences and that will make you build your self as an employee, persevere and be rewarded.

    Performance Appraisal is really important to assess if the employee is doing their job, or is doing their job on a standard note. Also, giving performance appraisal as managers they should know what’s expected from the employees and also as with the employees they should also know the basic objectives and what is expected from them. Moreover, always indicate what are the ways on how the employee could improve and also commend that employee if there is a job well done.

    Performance Appraisal is a medium to assess objectively employees’ performance through lobbying his/her strenght that helps the company attain its goals and objectives, on the other hand this is a way to making the employee aware of her weaknesses and setting plan to improve such.

    The above mentioned things to note when conducting a performance appraisal can be associated with what my current company where I am affiliated at, to cite an example prior to the appraisal the ratee will be informed as to when the immediate supervisor will conduct its (PA) agreed thru the time that both are available, which has been stipulated in the above article, with this the employee will try now to ponder her performance executed in the past period covered by the appraisal that will make the employee prepare. During the PA, in our company the employee will now have a copy of the results and this is the time where the rater explains explicitly every inch of the items rated, what I have learned from the article is that you have to set an improvement plan for the employee to help them be guided on the next period, in this set of plans, this will enable the employee play the performance the company is expecting from her thus, this will be now her tool to better improve key points she failed to meet. I think we need to put emphasis when we conduct our PA is to provide the employee to explain her side especially those key performance indicicators she has things to improve. Before submitting the final copy of her PA, let her express any opinions she may have pertinent with the result, as rater you need to ensure that everything is properly laid down and the ratee wholeheartedly accept the result of her evaluation.

    Remember that as a rater, you need to make sure that the result will be constructively accepted by the employee and that she is willing to enhance set of skills required, cause if the assessment will be made out of personal agenda or motive ,the tendency is the employee will be not anymore motivated and and as an end point she will not perform accordingly. The most important thing for me is that the rater must earn the respect of the ratee in such a way whatever things that will be discussed these will all be accepted openly and improved.

    Performance appraisal is not just a tool to evaluate employees performance, this could be a medium to set improvement plans for her to target and attain, high quality standards are what the company desires be it on the quality of its product, service that they provide and productive,efficient employee is also sought too.

    Performance Appraisal is very important in the company because it could be an outlet to improve and develop the performance of an employee.

To improve the performance appraisal, there should be regular coaching and feedback. Conducting structured evaluations allows the company to identify the individual performance. Providing feedback helps the managers and supervisors focus on empowering employees and gives them an opportunity to improve their individual performance.
    The supervisor or the manager should also have their logbook to write down and record all the performance of their employees. It will serve as their track record to be their basis for giving better performance appraisal. With this kind of strategy, it eliminates biases and favored employees.

Bonuses ranges from 35000 down to 5000 depending on your rating. Would this really matter ? To it does but others it doesn’t since for them they get bigger amounts from kickbacks… Hahaha. But this really true SIr.
