Employee Development and Performance Appraisal

By Dennis Torrecampo

Format: Checklist / Evaluation Form

Because “it takes two to tango”, an effective performance appraisal leads to mutual employee development initiatives. Career development and performance appraisal can be more meaningful for organizations and their employees when each system draws on the strength of the other – the “now” orientation of performance appraisal and the “future” orientation of career development. To accomplish this mutually strengthening process, the two systems must be viewed as contributing to the same goal – talent development. Organizations can cultivate this by using data about current performance to help in plans for future development.

In this comprehensive Employee development and Performance Appraisal Form, Part 1 is a self-evaluation of annual performance, Part 2 is the formal job-related and supervisory performance appraisal, and Part 3 sets goals and development plans for the upcoming period.
