Performance appraisals play a remarkably wide range of roles. Instead of being an isolated annual event, appraisals are but one component in the overall process of performance management. Within this framework, a state-of-the-art performance appraisal system generates a vast array of positive and productive outcomes.

The chapters in this part show you how appraisals motivate your employees, build their self-insights, and set the groundwork for training and developmental programs, all the while enhancing individual and departmental performance.

You also find a snapshot of the wide range of appraisal systems, techniques, processes, and forms, along with insights into their strengths and weaknesses. Looked at in a slightly different way, these chapters conduct a performance appraisal of the various performance appraisal systems.
