Performance Assessment
Performance Management is a continuous process that involves informal and formal reviews as required. As Plachy and Plachy explained ‘Performance review occurs whenever a manager and an employee confirm, adjust, or correct their understanding of work performance during routine work contacts.1’ this is the best way to manage performance.
The objective of a performance review is to improve the performance of the individual which will in turn improve the performance of the company. Performance reviews are very effective to both individual and the organisation. It can identify an individual’s strengths and areas of development and indicate how their strengths can be used within the company and how to overcome the individual’s weaknesses. This can also improve communications by giving staff the opportunity to talk and their ideas and expectations and how well they think they are progressing.
