· Performance appraisal is one of the main methods of optimizing performance of the employees in an organisation. Performance appraisal can be referred using simple terms as an investigation conducted to check on whether employees are performing their duties according to the set standards. The aim of performance appraisal is a working technique that seeks to improve the productivity of workers by not indulging in total supervision of them (Stephanie, 2013).
There are key aspects that must be carried out for an organisation to optimize its performance appraisal. They include;
· Keeping performance journals, these are the documents that are filled by the workers and their managers as well which simplify the process of working review.
· The organisation must undertake the role of setting short term goals and monitor the progress continuously. This will help reduce the time taken for appraisal and thus employees will be motivated continuously hence improving their performance.
· Lastly the organisation must be ready and set to use software so as to closely monitor the process. This includes using computers and electronic performance appraisal which is convenient and efficient (Kevin, 2013).
