Performance Management Vs Performance Appraisal

Hello, I'm currently working on the topic of performance management (PM). The PM process as such is clear, however, I fail to understand how the perfomance appraisal (360 degree appraisal) is linked to the process. Is it a tool of the formal performance review stage? or Is it a performance management process by itself? Your input would be appreciated. Thank you :) Sandy. |

Hello Sandy, The 360 feedback process is used by some organizations as part of the performance appraisal process and used by others only to support development planning. 360 surveys can be customized to focus on certain competencies or certain goal areas. They are not, however, used by all organizations and, when used, should be only a part of the performance evaluation process. The feedback gathered in this manner represents only a portion of the feedback and information that should be considered when a manager/supervisor is evaluating progress. You will find a transcript from one of my webcasts on 360 feedback entitled "How to effectively use 360 or multirater feedback within your performance management process" on the HR.com website. This transcript (or archive) should address many of your questions. If you have remaining questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at amacmillan@hr.com Sincerely, Aileen MacMillan Research Analyst |

The key difference between performance management and performance appraisal lies in the scope of execution. Both involve setting performance targets, reviewing whether they have been achieved or not, and preparing ways for enabling employees to meet them. Also, both systems set up clear expectations on what is expected of a particular employee set clear guidelines on what comprises a successful job performance and strives to identify the barriers towards effective performance. Performance appraisal, however, is a reactive and limited function that evaluates past performance, usually twice or once in a year. It’s a distinct staff activity that doesn’t interfere with an employee’s daily work. Performance management, as already said, is an ongoing proactive mechanism for managing staff performance, and also to ensure that the employee attains the set target on a real-time basis, sans any review or corrective action in the future. It’s a line activity which remains ingrained in an employee’s daily work. In several organizations, performance appraisal often becomes a part of the overall performance management system. It takes place at a periodic interval and forms the basis to take corrective action and assign further targets. |

Performance management is an ongoing process that manages employee performance. The process ensures that an employee attains his/her goals within the stipulated time. And also the mechanism sets clear expectations and goals so that the employees do not go off the track. Performance appraisal is an evaluation process that happens once or twice a year. Appraisal review meeting measures and ranks the overall contribution of the employee to the company. 360 degree feedback is a technique that helps companies to identify future leaders and nurture them. 360 degree feedback helps to reduce manager bias during the appraisal process and tailor development plans for each employee. The mechanism helps to conduct a fair appraisal process and focuses on each employee's development. |
