                               Setting up an appraisal scheme
      Appraisals can be a wonderful opportunity for your staff to focus on their jobs and make plans to develop their unused potential. They can also be a means of getting the best out of staff, both as individuals, and as team members. So, if you have decided that an appraisal scheme should be set up in your company, you need to establish some formal procedures and make some decisions before you begin. Even if your company already has a scheme, you need to consider what you want to achieve and how you are going to do this.
      First of all, you need to decide on your key objectives and the real purpose of your scheme.  (8)   A scheme should never be introduced at a time of redundancies, or simply for profit or competitive edge, because this will create fear and alienate staff. The next step is to decide how the scheme can most successfully be managed. It is essential that all senior staff are committed to the process and willing to make a positive contribution.
       The person given responsibility for designing the scheme and the appraisal forms needs to have knowledge of all roles within the organisation. He or she must also be aware of employees’ potential needs.  (9)   It should be someone who is trusted and whom staff will turn to if they are concerned about their appointed appraiser or the appraisal interview. The design of the scheme should indicate who will be appraising whom. This needs great tact and sensitivity. First, remember that no manager can effectively appraise more than seven or eight people. It is equally important to remember that, if significant numbers of staff are appraised by someone they dislike, or by a person whose values they do not share, the success of your scheme may be threatened.  (10)   So bear this in mind from the beginning and, if necessary, establish an appeals procedure.
      Having decided on your policy and who will appraise which members of staff, you need to communicate this in the simplest possible way. Avoid lengthy documents - few people will read them.  (11)   Host organisations choose a person’s line manager to be the appraiser. This can be seen as an opportunity or a threat, so be ready to consider alternatives if necessary. Once you have established the appraisal process, make sure that appraisal interviews take place at a convenient time, and ideally on neutral ground. It should be borne in mind that some appraisals may involve the disclosure of confidential information.  (12)   These will show the decisions that were taken during the interview and will also indicate any new performance targets that have been agreed.
A  It is important to select a manager who can deal effectively with any suspicions staff may have about appraisals.
B  Such a measure can also reduce insecurity and unite staff in recognising the positive elements of appraisal.
C  Having even one staff member in such a position may affect how others respond to the process.
D  Ideally, this should be to provide a supportive framework that aids staff development.
E  Simply make sure that staff know who will appraise them and why, and what form the interview will take.
F  It is therefore important to decide who will have access to written records of the appraisal.
G  They can also be a means of getting the best out of staff, both as individuals, and as team members.
