Support with Performance Appraisal Solutions
Performance appraisal tends to be something businesses either embrace, ignore or conduct in a fairly half-hearted manner (because they know they should do them but don’t really want to).
When tailored to your specific business and used regularly, performance appraisals can have a significant positive impact on your business.
An effective appraisal system incorporates regular feedback, frequent employee/line manager check-ins and future-focused skill development of employees.
With our help, you can have a solution in place that adds value to your business.

Performance Appraisal Frequently Asked Questions
What are the options for performance appraisal?
Performance appraisal doesn’t have to be complicated; it just needs to work for your business.
The simplest performance appraisal solution provides elementary, printed templates to capture an individual’s targets, key achievements and development areas. The summary information is collated in spreadsheets enabling basic analysis as part of the business review processes.
At the sophisticated end of the range, targets will be aligned to business goals, and desired changes in business capabilities will be driven by business strategy. The solution may be provided through a web-hosted system using online templates that capture information from the employee, the manager and the employee’s peers. This 360-degree view on individual, team and department performance feeds into the analysis of overall business performance, as well as supporting succession planning and resource management.
There are many different options and we can show you different approaches and discuss the pros and cons of each.
Having the forms is one thing, but how do I actually conduct the meeting?
Knowing how to deliver constructive feedback is vital to making any appraisal process work. We can provide training to you and your managers on this exact topic.
We can also provide training to your employees on how to get the best out of their appraisal meeting.
