Considering that there are many ways companies are making these performance appraisal reviews very effective. However, at the end of the day who is responsible to audit HR and top management they are doing the right job by their employees and not being bias within their teams rating. That is, at end of the year submissions management are not allocating the top rating to their favourites employees rather than by merits. I believe until this problem is fixed to measure the management allocations (e.g. another Performance approval for management by their teams or by 360 degrees feedback from their peers) that they are doing the right thing then there will always be low moral within the employees during Performance reviews.

I think is viable, cost effective, reflexes a more honest rating of employee performance and above all it is applicable

Performance appraisal is a useless tool and is used by supervisors to deny their juniors progression. I have a supervisor here who has never appraised me for the last three years yet he insists on me appraising my juniors. When its time for him to be appraised he wants me to make it happen for him. I havent been promoted because of lack of appraisal. I think we should do away with performance appraisal and concentrate on speaking to our junior to encourage them. Performance appraisal is sometimes used to get the appraisee.

I have managed employees for over twenty years. My current employer has made the review process a living nightmare for both the manager and employees. The HR Director makes the process difficult and is inconsistent from year to year. I took the exact same reviewed from five years ago that was approved and submitted it word for word and she even nit picked that one to death. At the end of the day it is no longer my review of the employee is becomes hers.
