A performance appraisal process that consistently provides accurate information to both supervisors and employees is a basic management responsibility and a valuable tool for enhancing every employee’s career. As you think about your current evaluation process, consider how you would answer the following questions:

• Does your appraisal tool produce meaningful, relevant information?
• Is your tool simple for supervisors to use?
• Is your appraisal process easy for everyone to understand?
• Does the process fully meet the needs of your employees and supervisors?
• Does your appraisal process encourage clear, honest communication?
• Does the process help your organization achieve its goals and objectives?

The right performance appraisal process for your organization can be a powerful catalyst for change and continuous improvement, and a valuable communications tool. Employee Benefit Resources, LLP has years of experience helping employers revise existing appraisal processes and design new systems.
