Organizational appraisal systems are often ineffective and result in unnecessary spending on the part of a company and unnecessary anxiety on the part of employees. This can significantly hinder overall job performance. Written for practitioners and advanced students, this book presents an alternative approach to the performance appraisal process that focuses on communication rather than evaluation. In this communication-centered approach to performance, the appraisal process is designed to facilitate meaningful and open interaction between employees and their supervisors. This innovative framework not only aims to enhance individual job performance by fostering a supportive environment for growth and development, but also provides a clear path to optimize resource allocation by reducing the often-cited costs associated with traditional, less effective appraisal methods. The emphasis on genuine dialogue empowers employees, leading to increased engagement and a more positive impact on their contributions to the organization.
