    What is an Appraisal?

    The appraisal can be defined as giving feedback to the employees at periodic intervals. The appraisal process refers to the evaluation and assessment of an employee’s work for a particular duration of time. This is an evaluation done to give the employee constructive feedback, a general idea about their future at the organization, and rewards they have earned through their consistently improving performance.

    What is an Appraisal at work?

    An appraisal at work is an effective and professional way to allow a manager to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of an employee. It helps the employee become aware of the areas they can improve on while also helping managers identify opportunities that should progress through powerful development. It is also important to ensure that both employees and managers receive clearer guidance on what good performance means.
