performance appraisal or performance
evaluation, is a formal assessment in
which managers evaluate an
employee’s work performance, identify

feedback, and set goals for future
performance.

they’re doing well, how they can improve, how
their work aligns with larger company goals, and
what is expected of them in their given role.

effectively can more easily recognize high
performing employees, correct issues before
they become insurmountable, communicate
expectations, encourage growth and
development, and foster employee engagement.
