With reference to requirements of effective appraisal systems, relevance refers to clear links between the critical job elements.

Three essential processes to ensure relevance are:

i. Establishing clear links between the performance standards for a particular job and the organizational objectives.

ii. Establishing clear links between the critical job elements identified through job analysis and the performance dimensions to be rated on an appraisal form.

iii. Ensuring that the job descriptions, performance standards and appraisal systems are maintained and updated regularly.
