How to approach appraisals

We have all had that feeling around appraisal season. Everything seems fine so why waste time when we have work to get on with?

However, with many employees still working from home for some or all of their time, a good appraisal system is now more important than ever before.

No, but failure to assess performance and provide feedback can have several ramifications; how can an employer objectively justify who should receive pay increases/ bonuses or tell an employee that they need to improve?

Again, no. Appraisals should be crafted around the employer’s business, how the employer measures performance and how it wishes to encourage growth.
