Welcome To The Performance Management & Appraisal Help Center

I'm pleased to welcome you to the performance management and appraisal help center, a labor of love and a pretty much free site on improving workplace performance, through managing performance and using appraisal and review techniques to do so.

I'm Robert Bacal, author of books on the subject that have sold about 500,000 world wide and my goal with this site is to offer to you the best resources on performance, management and performance appraisals available on the Internet, free of charge and hassle free.

My philosophy is simple, and is reflected in all my articles and books. Performance management and performance appraisals will only work when they are no longer DONE TO employees, but are done WITH employees in a manner I call WIN-WIN-WIN, which simply means that the goal is for manager, employee and company to benefit from the process.

Whether you are a manager, supervisor, coach, or human resources professional, you'll find valuable resources on this site. Free articles are hosted on this site, mostly written by Robert Bacal. In addition we have compiled a directory of handpicked articles on managing and improving workplace performance and related topics available without charge and without having to provide personal information. Topics range from 360 degree feedback, the balanced scorecard, rating and ranking of employees, and even some forms you can use in your own organization.
