Performance Appraisal Report: Evaluating Employee Performance

This report details a performance appraisal system designed to evaluate employee competencies and abilities, including quality of work, communication, and teamwork. The system utilizes a rating scale from "Below Average" to "Excellent" and incorporates employee self-review sections to ensure fairness and address potential workplace issues impacting performance. The report contrasts this approach with traditional, one-sided appraisal methods, highlighting the benefits of a more democratic and egalitarian evaluation process. The aim is to provide employees with the opportunity to express their perspectives, fostering a more comprehensive and effective evaluation process for the betterment of the company. The report references Iqbal et al. (2013) to support the impact of performance appraisal on employee performance.

1PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
The new Performance Appraisal system that I have designed for the respective
organization where I am working contains three sections which would examine, assess and
evaluate the core competencies and abilities of the employees. On the basis of the competency
markings provided in the performance appraisal form, the employees would be entitled to receive
awards, rewards and bonus, as well as monetary and non- monetary incentives. The employees
might as well also be demoted or promoted according to their performance yardsticks and
results. The performance appraisal that I have designed has three sections, namely, quality of
work, communication and teamwork. Under the sections “Quality of work, communication and
teamwork”, the range of performance begins from “Below average to excellent”, which ar passed
down to the managers and the assistant managers of every departments of the company who are
entitled to put the marks of performance of every employees according to his/ her performance.
Then, there is a separate section of “Employee’s review” where the employees are given an
opportunity to say regarding their performance and what could be the reason for their positive
and/ negative performances. The new type of performance appraisal would ensure that the
appraisal is happening in a “fair” and “just” way as the employees would get a chance to speak
up about their issues they might be facing (both positive and negative) in the workplace that
might be affecting their performance. Rather than traditional way of appraisal which is “one
sided” and focuses on the perceptions of the supervisors or seniors, the respective appraisal is
more “democratic” and egalitarian, giving space to the employees to talk directly about their
issues for the benefit of the company in long run (Iqbal et al., 2013).
