Organisations need some means of ensuring performance standards are being achieved and objectives are being met. They also need to plan for the future by setting organisational objectives. These should be achieved through personal objectives agreed at the appraisal. This is vital for all employees in order to maintain a competitive position, and it is important that the method for doing this is successful. All the material in the ‘Skills of Appraisal and Performance Review’ resource is dedicated to that end. However, underlying the methods, practices and techniques there must be crucial managerial thoughts, attitudes and activities.

As an introduction to the training activity, the participants work in groups to discuss what an effective performance review scheme needs. Their suggestions for a successful scheme are discussed and they are then given a list of requirements for comparison and discussion. Next, the participants review what an appraiser should do to make sure a performance review scheme is successful. The training activity closes with a review of key learning points and a final observation of performance review appraisal.
