2.3 Approaches to performance appraisal system

There are a number of approaches to performance appraisal, including:

 The Ranking System – This is a formal structured approach which consists of
the individual being assessed and analysed in terms of objectives, tasks,
workflows and results achieved. These are then compared with previously
agreed statements of required results and performance levels.

 The unstructured format – The unstructured format is another common
approach where evaluators use an essay or short answer to grade employees.

 Self-rating – This approach is where the individual rates themselves on certain
agreed criteria. This is then fed back to the manager who can review the
individual’s assessment and make their own assessment.

 360 approach – The 360 approach allows more participation by the individual.
While the manager will appraise the individual, the individual is also given the
opportunity to appraise the manager.
