Your Task for Assessment 1

Students will get themselves into groups of 4-6, the presentation should not exceed 20 minutes per group, and must follow the outline below:

• Critically evaluate the purpose and importance of performance appraisals as part of successful performance management;
• Critically discuss the role and responsibilities of line-management in the conduct of meaningful performance appraisals — also think about how to get their buy-in;
• Select a performance appraisal procedure from any organisation and discuss its approach, utilising substantial theoretical underpinning.
