Delivering Effective Appraisals

An effective appraisal should be a useful conversation about contribution, support and development. Explore how to prepare well, offer balanced feedback and agree realistic objectives, helping managers make appraisal a meaningful part of staff development rather than an annual form-filling exercise.

Consider how to listen to the employee's perspective, recognise strengths and discuss areas for improvement clearly. Practical examples focus on making expectations understandable, agreeing support and follow-up, and connecting individual development with the needs of the team and the people using the service.
