Getting The Most From Performance Appraisal For Employees Helpcard Finally, some help for employees to help them understand, prepare for, and participate in performance appraisal Available in E-version instant delivery version and in traditional print format sent in regular post

The Point: For some reason, most managers and companies spend almost no time explaining the point of performance appraisal to its employees, let alone the process. So, it's not surprising that employees see this process as confrontational, and anxiety provoking, since they are not helped to feel like active partners. If they don't feel part of a process that will HELP them, they aren't going to contribute to it. That means the process will fail.

This card was written to address this, by explaining the process, and helping the employee learn how to be an active and positive contributor to the process.

Based on the best selling book, Performance Management - A Briefcase Book, published by McGraw-Hill, this help card has been written to be used by EMPLOYEES. Its purpose is simple - to help prepare employees to be full and active participants in the performance appraisal process. This 2 sided 8.5 x 11 inch card provides dozens of hints, tips and principles to help employees do that. Here is what's included:
