A: Yes, it’s important for staff appraisals to be carried out, since personal appraisals will offer valuable information to the employer, which can help the company meet legal requirements. In addition, they provide the best way to build new targets and can help HR managers to talk to staff as well.
B: No, I don’t think staff appraisals are important. Individual appraisals do not always turn out to be very effective as teams would like to be awarded a group rating. Since everyone nowadays works in teams, team leaders can sense resentment between members. And virtually all employees make complaints about the way they are assessed, so individual appraisals may bring about negative results for the company.
