Managing appraisals often evokes anxiety in both employees and managers. This apprehension typically stems from a lack of understanding or improper execution of the appraisal process. At its core, an appraisal is a performance review—a retrospective assessment of an individual’s achievements over the past year. When done correctly, the appraisal process should be free of surprises, serving as a constructive dialogue to agree on performance ratings.
Our Approach
At Ignite, we’ve designed comprehensive programmes tailored for both employees and managers to demystify and streamline the appraisal process.
- For Employees: Our programme guides employees through their roles and responsibilities during the appraisal process, focusing on three key stages: preparation, the meeting, and follow-up actions. We empower employees to engage confidently in the process, ensuring they are well-prepared and proactive participants.
- For Managers: Our in-depth, full-day programme equips managers with the skills needed to effectively conduct appraisals. Managers learn how to objectively assess performance based on your organisation’s criteria, manage potential differences of opinion, and lead the appraisal discussion with confidence. We focus on three critical stages: preparation, conducting the meeting, and post-appraisal follow-up.
