You will prepare and submit a term paper on Appraising (Human Resource management). Your paper should be a minimum of 250 words in length. Ans. To ensure that the employees’ efforts are directed at achieving the right objectives after they have been altered because of any internal or external factors half-way through the year, it is important to arrange a meeting with the concerned employee at the time when the objectives get changed i.e. middle of the year in this case. While the employee should be briefed over the change of objectives and the manager should convey to the employee the new set of skills and competencies, objectives and goals that he/she is required to achieve, the manager should base the annual performance appraisal on both the performance shown by the employee till this point since the start of the year, and that shown by the employee from this point in the year onward till its end. In other words, the performance shown by the employee for the previous objectives whose duration is from the start till the middle of the year does not go waste. However, since it is a little complicated for the employee to abruptly exercise a radical change in his/her work responsibilities, it is imperative that the meetings between the manager and the employee from this point onwards till the end of the year are made more frequent. This means that if previously, two meetings were arranged, then after the change, there should be four meetings from the middle to the end of the year. This would provide the manager with an opportunity to monitor more closely whether the employee is working to achieve the new assigned goals or not.
