Performance

The Performance phase is the second step in the appraisal process.

Once the planning has been completed, it is time to execute the plan. For the individual, the critical responsibility here is getting the job done, achieving the objectives, and making notations of these milestones in the journal.

The appraiser has two major responsibilities:

• Creating the conditions that motivate; and
• Confronting and correcting any performance problems.

In an effective performance appraisal system, performance execution also includes continuous communication and feedback, along with a midterm review to assure that performance is on track.
