Higher Business Management - Staff Appraisal

An appraisal is an annual review between employee and employer. It is used to help identify strengths and weaknesses and allow for training.

Sometimes employee performance may not be up to standard. Therefore there are different measures a line manager may take. These include:

• arrange appropriate training for the underperforming employee
• setting targets for the employee
• look to best use employee's skills
• ensure they meet more often to see how things are going
• positive feedback may be given to the employee
