Performance Appraisal

Hello Once Again,

There is a lot going at the end of the year. Performance appraisals are in process in HR. I was not part of the ranking process. That happened some days ago, however, now I see how the manager and employee try to find a common ground and convince each other. What is interesting to see is that how managers think that their employees are either weak or not very good but the employees claim that are superb and they have done a good job. According to my observations there are two basic problems. First, the managers did not inform their subordinates about their performance during the year. Now when it is end of the year, the employees do not accept it. Second, there is no proper development plan in place based on which the employees may receive training and upgrade their skills. They claim that no one told them and no one trained them and to some extend their right. However, ultimately it is their responsibility to do their job to the highest standard and they should try to gain new skills. Anyways, it was another experience.    

Regards,

Javid
