A significant number of employees view annual staff appraisals as pointless exercises, according to a new study. In a poll of 2,900 employees, Investors in People, the organisation that helps improve staff development, found that almost a third (29 per cent) of respondents believed that appraisals were a waste of time. A further 44 per cent thought that their appraisers had been dishonest, while 23 per cent saw the process as a matter of box-ticking and the approach of those conducting the interviews as not serious. Managers were also accused of not dealing with concerns raised during the appraisals, and criticism was levelled at the absence of any feedback. While most large firms now carry out staff appraisals, barely half of businesses with fewer than 250 employees bothered with assessments at all. Nevertheless, the study discovered that, despite widespread disillusionment with the process, some 41 per cent of staff considered appraisals as valuable in principle. Simon Jones, acting chief executive of Investors in People, said: “It is a concern that some managers may be letting down their employees by failing to give full and frank feedback. Employees are not just after honest but also regular feedback throughout the year so there aren't any big surprises when it comes to the annual review.” |
