Employee Self Appraisal
Each employee, at least at the Supervisory & Executive level, looks forward to an opportunity to express his/ her achievements, problem areas, aspirations & so on. A structured 'self- Appraisal' Form makes it easy for an employee to provide the relevant information. Also it helps the management to gather the pulse of people & improve the organizational climate.
'EmpXtrack', for example, has a Form for 'Self Appraisal' (called Introspection). There are five elements in its structure as under:
 |
Achievements out of the Job Role: Here the employee writes about the achievements against those goals/ tasks which were self assigned. These could include self development goals, team improvement initiatives, community/ social service roles and similar other own time tasks which are not assigned to an employee by his/ her Manager. |
|
Factors which helped my performance: Management keeps providing varied resources to employees such as better work stations, captive power, new plant & machinery, latest tools & gauges, systems & processes and various types of training (both technical & managerial). It is for an employee to indicate which all resources helped in improving his/ her performance.
|
|
Factors which hindered my performance: Here is an opportunity for an employee to state, preferably in the form of a suggestion (rather than complaint), as to what specific improvements in the infrastructure, Leadership style, work place facilities, training of employees etc.. should be initiated by the management which will enable him/ her to perform better next year. |
|
My aspirations: Every employee has some aspirations in life. These could be of career growth, promotions, transfer to a specific location, special interest in some job position, an opportunity to work as a trainer, an assignment on a project abroad, need for a special training and so on. |
|
People who helped me to achieve my task: Self appraisal must enable an employee to develop the spirit of gratitude. Amongst seniors/ subordinates/ peers, there are always some people in the organization, may be from departments other than your own, who were a big help in completing the goals assigned to you by the Manager. Here is an opportunity to appreciate their contribution.

Self Appraisal on the Goals assigned by the Manager forms part of the 'Goal based performance' discussed next.
