Performance appraisal is a systematic and periodic process that assesses an employee's job performance and productivity in relation to pre-established criteria and organizational objectives. This evaluation mechanism is integral to human resource management, aiming to enhance employee development, improve organizational efficiency, and inform compensation, promotion, and termination decisions. The appraisal process typically involves setting clear performance expectations, ongoing monitoring, providing constructive feedback, and conducting formal review meetings. Contemporary approaches to performance appraisal include 360-degree feedback, management by objectives (MBO), and continuous performance management, reflecting a shift towards more holistic and dynamic evaluation methods. Despite its benefits, performance appraisal faces challenges such as potential biases, subjectivity, and the need for alignment with organizational culture and goals. Effective performance appraisal systems foster a culture of continuous improvement, engagement, and accountability, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the organization.
