Employee Evaluation

When you mention employee appraisals or evaluations, you will immediately get a wide range of complaints about how unfair they are
and how difficult they are to complete. Supervisors are afraid to be honest as they will be in the uncomfortable having to deal with the
employee’s feeling of bitterness at a rating deemed too low. Employees are resentful about an appraisal they received that they felt
they did not deserve. What should be a valuable tool has turned into a hated annual ordeal.

When used properly, employee appraisals are a valuable tool to motivate, invigorate, and connect employees to future growth. This
