| Performance Appraisals: Critical Conversations |
| |
No one likes performance appraisals.
Managers hate giving them. Employees hate receiving
them and HR professionals hate policing the process.
As one manager explained to me, doing a
performance appraisal is similar to getting a root
canal: both are painful; neither will kill you; but
with a root canal, the trauma is over the next day. And
yet, we continue to insist on doing appraisals hoping
for different results.
When faced with this indictment, HR professionals will
quickly spew the virtues of appraisals: great tool to
assess performance; ideal opportunity to focus on
employee development; opens up communications
between managers and employees; chance to clarify
performance expectations. And they are right.
So if conducting regular appraisals has all these
benefits, what can be done to reduce anxiety and
increase their chances for success?
