Summary of Appraisal Methods
绩效评估考核(Performanceappraisalandassessment)
绩效评估考核(Performance appraisal and assessment)The so-called performance appraisal, is through the system method and principle to assess and measure employees in the work of the behavior and effect. The results can affect the staff salary adjustment, bonuses and job rise and fall, career design and many other vital interests. The ultimate goal is to improve the performance of employees, while achieving business goals, improve employee satisfaction and future sense of accomplishment, and ultimately to achieve "win-win" development of enterprises and individuals". But it is also a "double-edged sword", well used to maximize the enthusiasm of employees and tap the potential of employees; on the contrary, it will undermine employees, and bring negative impact on enterprise development. The following 10 years of work experience, we should talk about the current situation and existing problems of enterprise staff performance appraisal, as well as suggestions for effective performance appraisal.First, the correct management idea of performance appraisal has not been successfully implanted in EnterprisesTo carry out performance appraisal work, the first question is why we should carry out performance appraisal work. This problem is not clear, and it will inevitably lead to blind performance appraisal. To carry out performance appraisal, the core problem is to achieve the strategic goal of the enterprise. Enterprises in the implementation of the performance appraisal, it is necessary to do a good job of propaganda and training, but the training and publicity if there is no real intention to highlight the performance appraisal, performance appraisal can not let employees understand very well, so the performanceappraisal is very difficult to achieve the goal.But in many enterprises, performance management is only senior managers in the little master, did not get a good promotion at the grassroots level, in the implementation process will inevitably lead to such problems, and some departments will think the performance appraisal is the human resources department that has nothing to do with other departments within the enterprise. At the same time, in the performance evaluation system design, the pursuit of one step in the design of indicators, without considering the actual situation of the enterprise, then some of the assessment will be difficult to achieve good results in actual operation.Two, the assessment indicators are primary and secondary, and the design is not reasonable enoughPerformance appraisal is a scientific measurement and evaluation of employees' job performance with various techniques and methods to meet the needs of personnel selection, allocation and training, as well as organizational change and development. There is no doubt that performance appraisal is a work, and it is a highly technical work. Therefore, the performance evaluation of the program design and formulation of a high demand. Normally, we are used to complete the mission, from the perspective of organization development, to design and establish evaluation scheme, and the scheme is the result of some cover and contain everything, non quantitative indicators were artificially "quantified", the "quantitative index" ready to accept either course caused by the examiners and examinees were at a loss.Three, the implementation of the organization is not enoughAmerican management scientist Larry Idy and Ram Charan in "execution: put forward how to complete the task of learning" in the book: not because of business failure often take the wrong strategy, but because of the good strategy is not performed correctly, ineffective implementation is the real cause of business failure.Business strategy and planning are important, but only execution can make them potentially useful. A lack of executive power of enterprise will make it work out the strategy and eventually become a mere scrap of paper, so is the performance appraisal. A good assessment system can not be carried out well, but it is also a waste of effort. There is a process to realize the strategic goal of an enterprise. The concrete process is execution, and executive ability is the ability to change the strategic vision into reality. The executive power of an enterprise is determined by three key factors, namely strategy, personnel and operation process. The effective implementation of performance appraisal also needs the coordination of personnel and the selection of the method of implementation and the process control.The author knows from many enterprises,More and more workers and even some executives believe that the performance appraisal is a kind of form, not to play its due role in the human face, not essential; performance appraisal is so feeble. The author believes that the main reason for thisdecline in the execution may be: (1) performance evaluation related to inadequate training; (2) the performance appraisal is not high-level practical support; (3) the performance appraisal index itself is unreasonable, contributed to the subjectivity and uncontrollable sex; (4) effect interpersonal relationship; (5) subordinate departments, the lack of effective communication mechanism; (6) "to advance inertia and culture to the people".Four, performance appraisal results and rewards and punishments are not equalFor enterprises, performance management is a part of corporate culture, fair and scientific performance appraisal can optimize its organizational structure, improve the overall performance, performance management for employees, create a positive work environment, through the performance appraisal, the staff to correctly understand their own advantages and disadvantages, and the development direction of the self correction, so as to get more opportunities and greater development performance.But at present, many enterprise managers regard performance appraisal as the task and requirement of the enterprise or superior. Therefore, in the process of assessment, the work attitude is not serious, the examination form is unitary, and the work is done carelessly. After that, the performance appraisal results are shelved. On the whole, performance appraisal results will have little impact on the final pay of the person being evaluated and the promotion of the future position. The intensity of punishment is not consistent withthe results of performance appraisal, to give material and spiritual rewards for the performance of employees are not significant, employee punishment for poor performance is not enough, this will inevitably lead to employees' work enthusiasm is not high, thus losing the purpose of the performance appraisal. In dealing with the assessment results on the one hand to ensure the fairness and justice, on the other hand also from the human point of view, considering the differences in temperament of employees, take individual mode of communication, the performance feedback to be assessed, and help them to find causes analysis, the result is good or bad, so as to arouse by re assessment of the rise of hope, to establish confidence in the work, and they help enterprises grow together and progress.。

4)强制正态分配法:
这种方法的根据是,在一个群体中,考核成绩 服从“两头小、中间大”的正态分布。具体做法是, 首先,确定各考核等级人数在总数中所占比例。 例如: 若划分成优、中、劣三等,则分别占总数的30%,40% 和30%; 若分成优、良、中、及格、劣五个等级,则每等级分 别占10%,20%,40%,20%与10%。然后,在对被考核者 进行相互比较的基础上按比例强制将其分入一定的等 级。

绩效评价的三层含义:
绩效评价是从企业经营目标出发对员工工作进行考评, 并使考评结果与其他人力资源管理职能相结合,推动企 业经营目标的实现;
绩效评价是人力资源管理系统的组成部分,它运用一 套系统和一贯的制度性规范、程序和方法进行考评; [强调正式的结构性制度]
绩效评价是对组织成员在日常工作中所表现的能力、 态度和业绩,进行以事实为依据的评价。
• 观点:许多工作结果并 不一定是个体行为所致, 可能受到与工作无关的其 他影响因素的影响,过分 关注结果会导致忽视重要 的行为过程。绩效由个体 控制下的与目标相关的行 为组成,不论这些行为是 认知的、生理的、心智活 动的或人际的。
• 观点:对绩效的研究 不再仅仅关注于对历史 的反应,,而是更关注 于员工的潜在能力,将 个人潜力和个人素质纳 入绩效评价的范畴,重 视高素质与高绩效之间 的关系。

绩效评估资料
绩效评估什么是绩效评估所谓绩效评估,是指运用数理统计、运筹学原理和特定指标体系,对照统一的标准,按照一定的程序,通过定量定性对比分析,对项目一定经营期间的经营效益和经营者业绩做出客观、公正和准确的综合评判。
绩效评估(performance appraisal),又称绩效评价、员工考核绩效评估是一种正式的员工评估制度,它是通过系统的方法、原理来评定和测量员工在职务上的工作行为和工作成果。
系效评估是企业管理者与员工之间的一项管理沟通活动。
绩效评估的结果可以直接影响到薪酬调整、奖金发放及职务升降等诸多员工的切身利益。
绩效评估的目的是什么1、对员工的晋升、降职、调职和离职提供依据;2、组织对员工的绩效考评的反馈;3、对员工和团队对组织的贡献进行评估;4、对员工的薪酬决策提供依据;5、对招聘选择和工作分配的决策进行评估;6、了解员工和团队的培训和教育的需要;7、对培训和员工职业生涯规划效果的评估;8、对工作计划、预算评估和人力资源规划提供信息。
绩效评估应遵循哪些原则1、与企业文化和管理理念相一致。
考评内容实际上就是对员工工作行为、态度、业绩等方面的要求和目标,它是员工行为的导向。
考评内容是企业组织文化和管理理念的具体化和形象化,在考评内容中必须明确:企业鼓励什么,反对什么,给员工以正确的指引。
2、要有侧重。
考评内容不可能涵盖该岗位上的所有工作内容,为了提高考评的效率,降低考核成本,并且让员工清楚工作的关键点,考评内容应该选择岗位工作的主要内容进行考评,不要面面俱到。
3、不考评无关内容。
绩效考评是对员工的工作考评,对不影响工作的其它任何事情都不要进行考评。
譬如员工的生活习惯、行为举止等内容不宜作为考核内容,否则自然后会影响相关工作的考评成绩。
绩效评估原则评估原则绩效评估是一项很复杂的工作,要提高评估工作的质量,达到预期的效果,应坚持以下原则:(1)客观原则绩效评估应尽可能科学地进行评价,使之具有可靠性、客观性、公平性。

An appraisal? Trust me. Our future is glorious. Of course the company really cares about you, but we can't pause in the midst of battle. Onwards and
upwards.
有些人认为绩效评估好比清理青少年的房间一般? 每个人都想见到成果,但是却没有人想要去做。
Others reckon that being asked to do performance appraisals is like being asked to give sailing lessons while you are bailing out the lifeboat: someone else wants a result but you are too busy to do it.

You are so senior that of course it is not appropriate to evaluate you formally on any of those silly forms. Like you, I really enjoy our partnership and our informal chats. So it’s not really a problem is it?
It is curious that most of us find it hard to get round doing regular appraisals of the people who report to us, yet still desperately want feedback from those we report to.
