Is It Time To Refresh Your Appraisal Process?
As we approach mid-year, many businesses are preparing for performance reviews. But are your appraisals actually delivering value, or have they become a bureaucratic exercise everyone dreads?
Signs your process needs refreshing:
- Managers and employees view them as administrative burdens
- The same generic development points appear year after year
- They're disconnected from day-to-day performance and business objectives
- You struggle to measure their impact on engagement or outcomes
Modern performance management has evolved beyond annual form-filling.
Consider:
- Frequent check-ins addressing real-time issues
- Forward-focused discussions emphasising future growth
- Development-centered approaches prioritising skill building over ratings
- Two-way dialogues where employees have a voice
Even small adjustments can yield significant improvements in engagement and performance. If you're considering modernising your approach, We'd be happy to share practical ideas tailored to your business needs.
