PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
Should a company conduct performance appraisals as traditional, periodic performance appraisals? Or would it be beneficial to proceed to a so called continuous (or agile) performance appraisal, conducted continuously without time limits?
Depending on the industry and nature of the work, one of these methods may be more fitting for the company. But the choice isn’t essential, it’s also possible for the company to utilize the benefits of both methods.

The traditional performance appraisal offers the chance to regularly stop and focus on discussing about “how we are doing”. Daily work routines may include active communication as well, but this conversation is usually deeply focused only on the current issues.
Scheduled performance appraisal enables both parties to prepare and get the chance to be heard. The appraisal offers a chance to take some distance to daily routines and look at the big picture. The performance appraisals must be planned and prepared for. Filling in the performance appraisal framework will support this method. Both parties are aware of the framework in advance, and it will create a base for the conversation.
By conducting regular performance appraisals it can be ensured that none of the employees will be left out, even if they don’t have any current competence development in motion.

At many workplaces work is very dynamic and goals need to be set weekly or monthly, more than yearly or every six months. This requires continuous communication, for which the modern interactive browser-based tools are very suitable.
The data from performance feedback and appraisals will stay in the system, and can be commented real-time or with a few days delay, which usually works well with the rhythm at workplaces today.
The goals for competence (competencies) can be set for the employees on the grounds of what is currently most essential. The goals can be long-term or short-term f.ex. project-related. After the needed competence has been achieved or the competencies get dated, new goals will be set.
The only parties in the performance appraisal are not necessarily just the employee and the superior anymore. Feedback is wanted from team members, possibly even clients, not to forget self-assessment. The 360 degree feedback fits in this picture. Feedback can be requested from multiple persons and about one or more defined competencies.
