Some common methods of performance appraisal:

• Self-appraisal: The employee or the team evaluates their own work performance based on predefined criteria and standards.

It should involve a dialogue between the appraiser and the appraisee, where they discuss the results, expectations, achievements, challenges, opportunities, and action plans. Performance appraisal should be followed by appropriate recognition, reward, support, coaching, training, or corrective action. It is a vital part of managing and developing human resources in an organization. Try to enhance the performance and potential of the employee or the team, as well as to achieve the organizational goals and objectives.
