Traditionally, performance reviews are completed using preset performance appraisal forms or templates. An appraisal form should have a detailed framework for measuring performance. Whether you are an employee, HR representative, or manager, you will have to complete and/or review performance appraisals. For this discussion, you will create a performance appraisal template that you believe would benefit the organization you currently or have previously worked for. Prior to beginning work on this exercise, read the article Viewpoint: How to Redesign Your Performance Appraisal Template (Links to an external site.). Additionally, review several performance appraisal templates available on the Internet.
Part 1
Create a performance appraisal template that you feel meets the needs of your current or previous position and organization. The appraisal should include a rating scale and five competencies you would recommend the organization to evaluate staff on. At a minimum, include a rating scale guideline (i.e., a description of what each rating is composed of). Attach your performance appraisal template to the initial post.
Part 2
In the body of your post, explain why you selected the five competencies and how your selections contribute to effective employee performance management, training, and development programs.
