WEEK 4 BUS303 DISCUSSION FORUM: Employee Performance and Appraisal Exercise

Employee Performance and Appraisal Exercise [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 4]

Traditionally, performance reviews are completed using preset performance appraisal forms or templates. An appraisal form should have a detailed framework for measuring performance. Whether you are an employee, HR representative, or manager, you will have to complete and/or review performance appraisals.

For this discussion, you will create a performance appraisal template that you believe would benefit the organization for which you currently work or have previously worked. Prior to beginning work on this exercise, please review Chapter 6: Performance Appraisal: Measurement, Assessment, and Management, and read the webpage Viewpoint: How to Redesign Your Performance Appraisal TemplateLinks to an external site..
