Appraising for Peak Performance
Overview
It’s that time of the year again, time for the performance appraisal discussion. A very small part of the performance management process that provides an incredible opportunity for the participants to engage in discussion about what motivates them towards goals and to seek support for the things that hold them back. So why is performance appraisal one of the greatest sources of conflict in organisations?
Often people are often unclear about what it is that appraisal actually achieves. For many people experience of appraisal is inevitably linked with problematic issues such as pay awards or difficulties with performance. Perhaps this contributes to the confusion.

How am I doing?
Overview
How am I doing? To us that question sums up the purpose of performance management: To let people know how they’re doing, give them useful feedback and ensure they are working as effectively as possible.
This is different from the appraisal process, which generally happens once or twice a year and is more a summary and overview of a person’s progress and development.
With continuous performance management, the focus is upon a person’s day to day effectiveness. Specific goals are agreed, workload is determined and expectations are agreed. This way potential difficulty can be managed as it occurs.
When people are well managed they feel aligned, committed and motivated. Their needs and wants considered, their individual ways of working are being accommodated and their contributions are acknowledged.
That’s performance management!
