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.
