Performance Appraisal Survival Guide
Performance Appraisal Survival Guide
By Roland Poitevin
It is the time of the year when your performance appraisal is just round the corner. Appraisal is primarily done to evaluate your past performance and chart out your future course in the organization. Appraisals are typically done once a year in most companies. In some companies half yearly appraisals are held.
An objective appraisal professionally done benefits both you and the organization you work for. You get feedback on your performance, suggestions for improvement, training needs and goals for the coming year which are aligned to the overall organization strategy/ objectives. Basis your past accomplishments you could also get compensation hike.
Before you go for your appraisal interview and during the course of it there are a few things you can do to make the process effective. Making a list of all that you have accomplished in the last evaluation period is the first step. When you keep a tab of your achievements and projects completed during the course of the year it will be easy to consolidate them at the end. Any appreciation mails or thank you mails/ communication can be taken as evidence too.
During the actual performance appraisal interview it is important to be participative. Give a brief about what you have done, your aspirations and training needs. Be open to listen objectively – you are likely to get positive as well as negative feedback. You can make your point of view clear but without being defensive or offensive. Remaining confident through out the performance evaluation process helps to build a professional image about you. Last but not the least it is crucial to perform all tasks assigned to you on time, every time.
Delivering high quality work, taking ownership of tasks, leadership and assuming extra responsibilities are traits that will get you noticed and pave the way for better roles.
