Conducting Effective Appraisals

An appraisal is an important part of the performance management cycle, and conducting an effective appraisal is a difficult skill to learn. The potential benefits of ‘getting it right’ are substantial, just as the potential harm caused, of ‘getting it wrong’ is substantial also.
