Appraisal Good Practice

Murph

Hi All,

I have been reading with a great deal of interest, the debate on whether or not the annual appraisal is dead.

It seems that most people/organisations agree that their existing process is either not fit for purpose, or at least very cumbersome. I wonder then if anyone has actually come up with a workable alternative that does seem to tick the right boxes (without being a box ticking exercise)?

We currently do spend more time chasing completion, than we do on the content of the reviews. 

If anyone would love to share their best practice, or a real tangible way forward I would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Scott
    The way we handle this is through a dichotomy of quantitative factual business indicators, including implementation of key strategic projects and qualitative behavioural indicators with a descriptive scale.
    The questionnaire is kept short and automated. There is a weight age of 70% towards quantitative indicators and 30% on the qualitative ones.
    We focus on strengths, areas of improvement and development.
    We have recently streamlined the questionnaire, automated the questions and calculation of scores with an inbuilt skills dictionary and rating scale. This has been useful and appreciated by the workforce.
    The most challenging bit is the ability to think through thoroughly on meaningful measurable objectives and the ability to ensure the objectives somehow connect to the overall business strategy across levels.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers
