Explanation:
Performance appraisal is the process by which companies evaluate employee performance. Generally this process is carried out on a regular basis, e.g. once a year. It should measure both the employee's performance in relation to his/her specific job tasks and the employee's contribution to company. It is important to review both the employee's skills and achievements, as well as the lack of achievements and skills.
Performance appraisals are generally carried out by a supervisor or manager, but it can also be carried out by coworkers and peers.
