By NAPTA - Appraisals should form an intrinsic and fundamental part of any business, nurturing personal development and helping to align company strategy. In reality, the appraisal process is often the most ineffective for both employer and employee. Most of us fall down on the same key points %u2013 firstly, the people conducting the appraisals are ill equipped to do so, and are shoe-horned into using a system that they haven%u2019t actually been trained to use properly. Secondly, in most businesses they happen once or maybe twice a year, so all the formal feedback we provide is condensed into just one meeting. Consequently, the process is actually quite stressful for everyone involved and largely ineffective. And that surely misses the point entirely. (Added: 8-Aug-2005 Hits: 706 )
