Performance Appraisal policy

This policy is included in the Employee Handbook.

All organisations that conduct performance appraisals should have a written policy and procedures to explain the purpose, aims and objectives of the appraisal process and express a company's commitment to appraising and developing staff.

This policy will help appraisees and appraisers (i.e. employees, line managers and peers) understand the performance appraisal process, responses and what will happen before, during and after an appraisal meeting.

This policy covers:

Preparation and paperwork:

Preparing and planning for performance appraisal meetings.
Using and referencing performance appraisal paperwork and forms.
Company guidance material for appraisers and appraisees.
Appraisal time frames.

Meetings and actions:

Participating at annual, monthly or other time defined appraisal meetings.
Discussing and planning training requirements and development activities.
Follow up actions or tasks.
Agreeing goals, objectives and training for the new appraisal period.
