4 Key Reasons why Performance Appraisal is Important

Performance Appraisal is used in different organizations to assess how each employee is on the job. Successful organizations understand the importance of integrating performance appraisal with their performance management strategy.

How is performance appraisal important to an organization?

1. Employee performance

Performance appraisal aims at improving an employee’s performance. It's easier for an employee to identify areas of improvement. Due to identifying these areas, an employee can set goals that will lead to promotions and career advancement.

2. Clarification

The process helps in clarifying the employee’s role and status in the organization. As a result, employees understand what is expected of them. Furthermore, employees can easily perform their roles seamlessly.

3. Building relationships

The appraisal gives an employer and employee an opportunity to have meetings and discuss the performance. The frequent meetings allow an employee to approach the management for discussions, clarify expectations, and identify problems. In addition, this opens communication between them and strengthens their relationships.

4. Motivation

A performance appraisal serves as a motivational tool for employees. Offering bonuses or recognizing an employee of the week, month, or year motivates employees. Offering improvement opportunities, for example, seminars and training to employees looking to improve their skills is also is a key motivator. Therefore,  an appraisal shows employees that an organization is interested in their individual performance and improvement.
