Avoid Routine Annual Performance Appraisals
Performance appraisals in my opinion should not be allowed to become a routine annual exercise, but should be used to improve the performances of all levels of staff. They should be carried out in an
informal environment that does not make the appraisee feel he/she is being interviewed or scrutinized. Appraisals can be made
fun, with the supervisor and the supervised benefiting immensely as both parties are able to
share a lot which can be transferred into the work place. Appraisal discussions could be held
informally every six or eight weeks with supervisory note taken by the supervisor.
