I have just started a new position as a Human Resources Manager for a publishing company (approx 400 staff). One of my initial tasks is to re-design the company appraisal form so that it aids in the facilitation of appraisals and helps to improve overall performance management within the company. My first reaction is to establish the strengths and weaknesses of the current form (through focus groups?), to understand what people want from a new form and then assess the “gap” and suggest a way forward. Obviously I am keen to get this right and I do not wish to simply design something myself and attempt a mass “roll-out”, I think involving others will encourage “buy-in” and commitment. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has had experience in this area.
Many thanks.
Sarah
