An effective performance review or appraisal system will feed into your learning and development processes, promote commitment and motivation and enhance performance. Conversely, an ineffective system is at best a waste of time, and at worst, demotivating for managers and employees alike! If your system needs designing – or an overhaul – we would be glad to work with you on this.

Aspects that you might want to look at together include the following:

• Current best practice in your sector and elsewhere
• How to make the process fit with, and support, all the other things that are going on in your organisation
• Consulting with managers and employees about what they would like
• Increasing individual ownership of performance and development and participation in the process
• Introducing more of a strengths-based focus
• Helping managers to take more of a coaching approach
• Drafting/streamlining the process and paperwork
• Designing communication and training materials, and delivering workshops

It often works well to have a cross-company project team responsible for producing the new or revised process. We could provide project management for this team, meetings facilitation and expert input as required.
