What you’ll learn to do: identify the steps in appraising employee performance

Many employees will not have interaction with Human Resources after they are hired until it is time for a review of their performance. Few things cause more apprehension among employees than performance evaluations. Often this is the result of uncertainty about the criteria by which they are being evaluated or the possible outcome of their review. Having a well-designed and communicated process for appraising employee performance is a critical part of the HR manager’s job.  Not only does it support the development and growth of the workforce, but it can also prevent many of the legal issues you read about earlier in this module.
