Regular staff appraisals are important  even if you only have one employee.

They should not be intimidating or need to be  formal, but they should  be clear and well planned. You should aim to schedule performance appraisals at lease every six months.

Silicon Beach Training provide regular Performance Appraisals Training courses in Brighton, Sussex. Other HR Training courses include Train the Trainer courses, PRINCE2 Training, ITIL Training and MSP Training.

Performance appraisals should make your employees aware of  how well you think they are doing. It is an opportunity to tell them if you are pleased with their performance and use the opportunity to encourage and reward. It is also an opportunity to raise issues if you are not satisfied with their performance. The aim is to  to help them understand where there is room for improvement and it is important to suggest how they might accomplish this improvement.

Be Specific

Don’t make sweeping statements like “You need to get your act together.” Chances are that they don’t know they are under performing or what they should be doing differently.

Allow your employees to air their own opinions.

A appraisal should provide an opportunity for your employee to discuss their future within your business or organisation, and they should be made comfortable to raise any issues that might concern them. This allows them to vent any frustrations they might be feeling. This may be the only opportunity for them to have you listen sincerely and objectively to what they say.

Remember it is a two way process.
