Performance Appraisal Policy Writers

What are Performance Appraisal Policies?

Performance appraisal policies outline how organisations review and assess employee performance in a fair, consistent and structured way.

Regular appraisals support employee development, improve organisational performance and strengthen communication between staff and managers. A clear policy ensures that reviews are carried out objectively, with agreed goals and constructive feedback.

What Do Performance Appraisal Policies Cover?

A performance appraisal policy typically includes:

• The purpose of appraisals, including employee development, recognition and performance improvement

• Responsibilities of managers and employees in preparing for and engaging in the appraisal process

• Frequency and format of performance reviews (e.g. annual, mid-year or ongoing check-ins)

• Use of measurable objectives, competencies and agreed development goals

• Procedures for recording outcomes and maintaining appraisal records

• Links between appraisal results and training, career development or succession planning

• Processes for addressing underperformance identified during appraisals

• Guidance on providing constructive feedback and encouraging employee input

• Links to training and development, feedback, underperformance and grievance policies

A clear policy ensures that performance reviews are meaningful, transparent and consistent across the organisation.

It also supports compliance with good HR practice by providing evidence of fair and equal treatment, while helping to defend against claims of bias or discrimination.

By embedding performance appraisal into workforce management, organisations can improve productivity, retain talent and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
