It is important that all organizations have a successful staff in order to properly operate. This staff includes employees that are paid or unpaid; these employees need to be evaluated, normally on a yearly basis in order to receive pay raises, advancement, or rewards. A performance appraisal program is one of the most important factors in any organization; it is a tool that is used to record employee performance good and bad. Discussion between managers and subordinates will impact a person’s job satisfaction and productivity. Although, both the managers and the subordinates do not look forward to these reviews, they should both look at this as a learning experience. “Many supervisors and subordinates hate performance appraisal exercises. Moreover, the benefits of performance appraisals for organizations are questionable.” Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011
Performance appraisals are a necessity when considering giving promotions. This sort of system is important to those employees who have been with the company longer in order to ensure that they are fairly treated over those employees who come in at a higher wage and may not have the immediate chance for a pay increase. A pay increase should be given to those that work really hard and deserve a promotion. This also gives an opportunity for someone who has been with the company for a shorter amount of time, a chance to grow if they are doing the job better than someone who has been with the company longer. In many companies, managers only care about longevity and loyalty which can send a message to newer and more capable employees that the organization would not be open to change and new ideas. This can lose many great employees for a company.
