| Overview:
Although appraisal is an ongoing process, it is the yearly, half-yearly or irregularly-held appraisal interview that gives the whole process focus and meaning. Employees in particular judge schemes and the credibility of the appraisers by what happens during the brief but all-important contact of the appraisal interview. Whatever lofty aims and purposes an appraisal scheme may have, it is the quality of the one-to-one relationship and the use of professional skills in an interview, that determine if appraisal is a success. |
