Managing for Results Through Appraisal

Companies expect top performance from their employees and performance appraisal system is a way to gauge performance in this respect.  Well-conducted performance appraisals can be useful in helping employees to improve, motivating and directing them to better performance.  If done poorly, performance appraisal may be seen as a time-consuming exercise with little value.  The key to effective performance appraisal is whether the manager possesses  appropriate attitudes and skills.
