ReplyDeleteIn the workplace, an evaluation is a tool employers use to review the performance of an employee. Usually, the employee's supervisor is responsible for evaluating the employee. This evaluations are very perfect with regards to the private sector. But in public sector this is not realistic. And also we have to re-evaluate the draw backs in traditional empoyee evaluations . The use of HR technology and modern systems as changed the patterns of evaluations. However I agreed with you ideas.
ReplyDeleteUse of modern HR tools over employee evaluation will built strong communication channel in the organization and will effect company and employees in many ways.

DeleteHi Sunith, What the most interesting part of the Employee evaluation is Self performance evaluation. It is not possible for managers or HR division to evaluate all the employees in every time. Being the part of Organization it is a right and also a responsibility of employee to evaluate their performance. If the employees are motivated for achieving goals, then they will surely improve their skills and knowledge after self performance evaluation. The best part is managers can do ,is lead the employees, motivate the employees and evaluate them in right way.

ReplyDeleteAs you mentioned in your article, what I understood is that there are four reasons why a performance evaluation should be implemented. First, the evaluation process should encourage positive performance and behavior. Second, it is a way to satisfy employees' curiosity about how well they are performing in their job. It can also be used as a tool to develop employees. Lastly, it can provide a basis for pay raises, promotions, and legal disciplinary actions.
ReplyDeleteYes Kanchana, Thanks for the Comments
DeleteGood article sunith,ideally, performance opinions offer a stepping-stone for the worker and supervisor to perceive and talk regions in which performance can be improved. it can additionally be an vital opportunity for employee and manager expectancies to be bolstered or clarified. evaluations are often seen as documentation of past overall performance

Deleteperformance review, is a process used by organizations to provide employees with feedback on their job performance and to formally document that performance. they may include rating scales, self-assessment checklists, formal observations or performance tasks. thank you for sharing very informative article.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments Thilina,
DeleteEvery employee in the organization has a KPI to meet, and at the end of the financial year, they may be required to assess progress by analyzing previous year's achievements. Perfomance assessment will be used to carry out this procedure.
ReplyDeleteAn employee may use a performance assessment to give positive comments as well as highlight areas for development. An employee and his or her boss might discuss and even construct a developmental (training) plan to help them enhance their abilities. Finally, it allows both the management and the employee to define long- and short-term objectives.
Thank you for providing such an interesting toipc.
Excellent work Sunith, and best wishes for your next blog articles.
Thanks Praveen for the comments and wishes........
DeletePerformance Management is a very important management tool in all organizations. A proper PM includes regular feedback and the separation of interaction between managers and team members, allowing managers at all levels to identify performance gaps and how to resolve them as quickly as possible and keep everyone motivated to improve employee engagement, productivity and profitability. Worth to read.
