I know a lot of people find Performance Appraisal a chore. They do it because it’s tied to the incentive payout. Or it’s required for the employee to be confirmed or the contract renewed.
HR made us to do it!
But…. if you want to progress in your career, it’s important that:
- Your boss is aware of your performance – what did you do well & what you need to work on.
- Your boss knows what your career aspirations are.
- What the company can do to help you to do better so you can get to your career aspirations faster.
And one of the best time to discuss the above with your boss is actually during Performance Appraisal time.
A tip to get the most out of it, it’s always good to have examples and data prepared to back up your scores in your appraisal.
So do make the time to complete your performance appraisal because just like how mummy tells us to eat our vegetables, it’s going to be good for you.
