Performance appraisal system serves as a tool to assess employees’ performance and helps to plan and measure the organization’s goals accomplishment. Luthy (1998) suggested that “individual contributions must be based on clear direction, personal planning, individual and team assignments, and well-articulated knowledge, skills, and personal attributes”, to give employees expectations to meet and information that establish the organization performance standard.
Performance evaluations are very important for companies to lay out expectations, set goals and standards, have a formal discussion with all employees and set everyone on the same page. In order to make the experience better for both the organizations and its employees, proper approach is critical. Organization can benefit from providing clear goal oriented feedback to make progress against and the employees will benefit from knowing if the path they are in is leading them and the organization they invest their time into in the right direction. Furthermore, if the employees are less anxious and see it as a benefit they will be more engaging and proactive in the way they approach the evaluation. Focusing on a better performance evaluation overall can only lead to a more productive environment.

Performance appraisal is perceived by most as a tool to reward or penalize employees for their good or bad work respectively by the end of a year. This notion is a challenge in itself to deal with. The whole exercise becomes dull for both supervisors and their subordinates and they tend to look at it as an additional responsibility which they have to finish. In the end, there is little or no value addition for either the employee or the organization. There are, however, better ways of looking at and conducting performance appraisals. It can give much needed feedback to both performers and laggards to improve upon and if done properly can even boost their motivation. More importantly, they provide a chance to employees to have a say in their goal setting and thus aligning it with the departmental and organizational goals. Also, the process itself has a value in team making.
