NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “(vi) Performance Appraisal After the employees have undergone a period of training and they have been on the job for some time, there is a need to evaluate their performance. All organisations have some formal or informal means of appraising their employee’s performance. Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee’s current and/or past performance as against certain predetermined standards. The employee is expected to know what the standards are and the superior is to provide the employee feedback on his/her performance. The performance appraisal process, therefore, will include defining the job, appraising performance and providing feedback.” “(vii) Promotion and career planning It becomes necessary for all organisations to address career related issues and promotional avenues for their employees. Managers need to design activities to serve employees’ long-term interests also. They must encourage employees to grow and realise their full potential. Promotions are an integral part of people’s career. They refer to being placed in positions of increased responsibility. They usually mean more pay, responsibility and job satisfaction.” |
