PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL – HOTEL HR PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Performance Appraisal management is about
getting better results from the organization, teams and individuals by
understanding and managing performance within an agreed framework of planned
goals, standards and competing requirements. It is a process for establishing
shared understanding about what is to be achieved, and an approach to managing and
developing people in a way which increases the probability that it will be
achieved in the short and long term. It is owned and driven by management.

appraisal meeting is one in which:
§ Appraisees do most the talking.
§ Appraisers listen actively to what they say.
§ There is scope for reflection and analysis.
§ Performance is analysed and not personality.
§ The whole period is reviewed and not just recent or
isolated events.
§ Achievement is recognized and reinforced.
§ Ends positively with agreed action plans.
On the other hand a ‘bad’ appraisal meeting:
§ Focuses on a catalogue of failures and omissions.
§ Is controlled by the appraiser.
§ Ends with disagreement between appraiser and appraisee.
MANAGING POOR
PERFORMANCE
There are five basic steps in handling
performance problems:
1.
Identify the problem through analysing
feedback and getting agreement from the employee what the shortfall has been.
2.
Establish the reason(s) for the shortfall and
avoid crudely attaching blame for problems in the job.
3.
Decide and agree on the action required,
whether it be things like a change in attitude, behaviour or improvements in
certain skills or abilities.
4.
Resource the action by providing coaching,
training and guidance to ensure that changes can be made.
5.
Monitor and provide feedback, which may also
include an element of self-management in the learning process.
