Employee Appraisal Forms
Posted on 29 November 2011 by admin
Top tips for creating effective employee appraisal forms
The process for completing employee appraisal forms is often looked upon with severe trepidation by managers within organisations of all sizes. The main reason for this is because employee appraisal forms take so much time to fill in, are cumbersome and can involve some uncomfortable discussions with employees who may have under-performed or failed to achieve their objectives during the course of the year.
If the employee appraisal form is not put together well in the first place it can easily add to the frustration of managers.
The following guidelines can help you to make sure that your forms are user-friendly.
Employee Appraisal Forms – What You Need to Know
• Make employee appraisal forms simple to use – Provide clear instructions for both employees and managers. Always provide examples so they thoroughly understand what information is required of them
• Ensure that the form isn’t too long – 2-3 pages should be long enough
• Review previous goals and objectives – This review should take place right at the start of the form. Remember goals and objectives can change during the year, so ensure that goals are up-to-date in order to ensure a smooth review and avoid any mis-alignment between employee and manager.
• Analyse employee strengths and areas for development – include up to 5 strengths and 3-4 areas for development. Ensure areas of development are approached in a positive manner and do not classify them as employee weaknesses.
• Try to include open-ended questions – Questions that can initiate one-word answers are not helpful e.g. “do you like your job?” Open-ended questions guarantee the best possible feedback, encourage employees to engage with the process and provide more truthful and expressive answers.
• Create customized employee appraisal forms for different job roles – Ensure that specific objectives and competencies are specific and applicable to the particular job role and not generic to cover all roles.
• Encourage goals that are SMART – goals should always be specific to the role, measurable, achievable, realistic and include a target completion date.
• Provide plenty of room on the form for feedback – employee feedback is absolutely critical to an effective process so make sure there is ample space on the employee appraisal form for plenty of detail.
• Provide some simple training for employees on writing appraisals
