Hello *|FNAME|*
How committed to your appraisals (performance reviews) are you and your business?
Have you ever cancelled or postponed an appraisal with one of your team?
And yet…
The energy and motivation for the work people do increases when performance reviews are taken seriously and run well.
In this latest blog and download you will learn how:
1) simple is best. How using a simple one-page appraisal form can drive out scepticism and foot dragging cynicism about performance reviews
2) your commitment to appraisals, as a leader and a manager, determines your team’s drive and motivation
3) taking appraisals/performance reviews seriously can help your team improve their skills, knowledge and capabilities - so help you build a more successful business
STOP looking at the performance review as time in the diary that could be better spent doing something else.
START by understanding how truly valuable the performance review is, not only to you and your employee but to the business as a whole.
Are you ready to treat appraisals as a key driver of business success and help your people prosper too?

Subject: Why should you make appraisals a critical, non-negotiable part of your business calendar?"
Body:
Hello *|FNAME|*
In a small team everyone plays a crucial role.
Because everyone is crucial, everyone needs to perform well and, if they can, get better too.
Who wants to be left in the dark about how well they are doing?
If anything, an annual or bi-annual performance review could be the making of your small team.
"I can't see the point in formal appraisals in a small team. Plus we don't have anywhere to have the appraisal meetings."
Performance reviews managed well will underpin greater future performance. How come?
Because when your people get better at what they're doing, your business will get better too.
Go here to read more on appraisals whatever your business, you will also be able to get your hands on a 4 page report "Your business grows when you help our people grow..."
I hope you find value in this blog.

Update 1:
It pays to take your appraisal or performance review process seriously. Probably more seriously that you do now.
Your businesses approach to appraisals can unlock greater success in your business because it can unlock greater performance from your people.
However, most appraisals do not result in higher levels of energy and motivation... remember a motivated team of people, an improving team of people, a more energised team of people can transform the results of your business.
A demotivated, ‘can’t be bothered’ team will undermine the future success of your business.As a business you must:
STOP: treating annual or bi-annual appraisals as a necessary evil you would prefer not to do
START: by seeing appraisals as a critical moment of opportunity for each of your team members and for business as a whole.

Update 2:
Does anyone really relish the idea of appraisals or performance reviews? Let’s be honest most of us don’t. Mostly because appraisals fail to be effective. Most appraisals fail to work well because they are not taken seriously enough by leaders and managers.
If as a business leader you’re convinced about the value and intrinsic success to the business of the appraisal process, then you must get wholeheartedly involved in every review until they become part of the culture of the business. When you work alongside every manager and every worker through the appraisal process you will be sending a very clear message about your belief in the value of performance reviews.
In their book ‘One page talent management’ Marc Effron and Miriam Ort believe that simple is best and that ‘by eliminating complexity and adding value, we help convince managers that these simple, easy-to-use practices will help them manage with very little effort’
