TRW and RNLI launch rescues: How appraisal fits into modernization

Abstract

Few people approaching appraisal would admit to facing the prospect with anything but apprehension; that empty feeling in the stomach, maybe a sleepless night beforehand and a huge sigh of relief when it is over and done with – until the next time. Not that managers or supervisors – the people doing the appraising – feel any better about the prospect. They are possibly just as nervous about the procedure, maybe even more so. Being criticized about your performance at work is bad enough, but having to dish out that critical feedback can be just as bad.
