performance management and appraisal

outline

Increased competition, busy-ness and pressure at work means that performance is often not managed and assessed effectively and productively.

To get the best out of individuals and teams it is necessary to plan how best to deploy and develop their skills and abilities and to continually manage and review their performance. For teams this will result in higher motivation, consistently good results and a better atmosphere in which to work. For individuals it will result in professional and personal development, increased commitment and consistently-improving performance.

Performance management and appraisal enables the manager to know what the team is capable of, what is going on at any particular time, better awareness and understanding of problems arising and what to do to solve them. It ensures knowledge of individuals and anything that might be needed to ensure their continued commitment and high-level performance.
