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 We are in a service industry where the clients drive what we do and we are very responsive to their requirements. We struggled for a number of years setting smart goals that changed or disappeared when the client changed or changed their minds. Finding it difficult to measure the goals. Now we use an app to organise regular 1:1s and keep notes and we use the app to record peer and client feedback. We now use bigger picture goals and ask which goal(s) do my actions achieve. We also focus on learning from past experience and ideas for improvement. This is a continuous process rather than a annual or quarterly 'appraisal'.
