Creating an Appraisal System
Appraisal System As director of the human services department I am aware that a good appraisal system is important to the organization. This system helps to keep an organization running smoothly by keeping staff working in the proper manner. A good system starts with the supervision over staff. Once appraisals, or reviews, are being given one should look into performance, rewarding and terminations. Most importantly one needs to decide when the reviews are being given. This system is what will help managers or directors, like me, to refine the staff and create a staff that will work in benefit of the organization instead of against it. The first thing I brought up was supervision. Staff supervision is what helps keep staff in line. That is why organizations depend so much on their managers or assistant director. The role of the manager is to guide employees and make sure everyone knows their place and understands what they are doing. If an employee does not fully understand their task their performance levels might be bad since he or she is confused. In that case then it will not be the employees fault but more of whomever supervises him or her. “Staff may even have been building up a record of poor performance, compounding problems through lack of earlier intervention. This is very de- motivating for employees,” says Mr. Vaughan in a post called Reappraising the appraisal system. Not to mention, that bad performance that reflects back to management does not look good for a company. Future potential employees could be scared off. Not to mention that an employee could receive a bad review and was not their fault. Managers need to be available to their staff for that reason. If staffs have questions or want guidance in anything the person looking after them needs to be there. Employees can not feel as if they are on their own. They need that
