What is it?
No matter what type of business you are in, having a performance appraisal system is a good idea. Even if you have only one employee, formally reviewing your staff on a regular basis could keep you out of court. With an appraisal system in place, you will:
- have written records of your employees’ performance;
- get more productivity from workers through goal setting; and
- have an objective means of determining compensation.
