Question

3. Rahul and Priyanka are partners in a content writing company named as 'Writing4You.
Rahul says it's quite clear whether any particular employee of the company is doing their
job properly or not, as they monitor, observe and give them feedback regularly. Being a
small company Rahul feels a formal appraisal process is of no use because they (both Rahul
& Priyanka) can keep in touch with every employee on a regular basis. Priyanka on the other
hand, feels that sitting down and giving formal feedback will reinforce what employees are
doing right and get them to modify things they may be doing wrong. Now, they want you.
their management consultant to advise them on what to do.
a. What performance appraisal problems will "Writing4You encounter if they continue on the
course of not using formalized performance appraisals?

b. What guidelines would you recommend to "Write4You partners for developing an effective
appraisal system?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) If there is no system of  formalized performance appraisals, then it will be hard to keep performance track of employees over the years.

Also it might made employees less accountable towards their performance or a bit less focussed when their is no formal system

b)  Formalized performance appraisal system should be transparent, unbiased and all the KPI's should be measurable and realistic and then feedback should be given and discussed with each employee
