Employee Performance appraisal is something that is heard about rarely in Small and Medium Enterprises because they don’t focus much on investing substance on evaluating the performance of the employees. While in the case of big companies, they desire to have a high level of employee retention and low turnover cost and as a posteriori they adopt different strategies that can help them in achieving these. Employee appraisal is a dire task that employees go through in their working process. It should be conducted on a quarterly, half yearly or annual basis depending upon the nature of the work so that it becomes easier for the HR manager to meet the need of manpower talent in the organization.
The company can frame a vivid picture of how productive their employees are, what the level of their performance is and what factors prevent them from succeeding. Based on the appraisal feedback the company can take the decision to organise the necessary training & development programs in order to hone the skills of the employees.
