Major Dialogues in Performance Appraisal

Appraising performance is an activity that starts from birth and ends in death. It is about life and living. It is Life long experience. It is on-going in all work settings.It is about employee empowerment. It is an intentional act of self driven activities aimed at achieving identified targets and rewards. When it is truly employee driven,intentional and empowering,the exercise becomes reassuring,comforting and satisfying irrespective of the work setting or type of worker. Paradoxically, appraisal activities in formal work settings tend to ginger up apprehension,stress and discomfort. Why so?. This book is visualized as a collection of Dialogues. Each one represents a focus on the core issues,tools,methods,strategies,policies and orientation that impact on Life long performance appraisal.
