Appraisals in any organisation boasting robust techniques..et al; are actually faking it.
Never there has really been a genuine appraisal in any organization(specifically in India). We all saw how Appraisals happened in ICICI Bank this year????(Appraisals of staff; Junior,Middle level happened publically). Staff too was caught unaware, Appraisal results were declared by ET & not by the Banks HR function. Sorry state of affairs in such a huge group.
Globally they have different standards; like in US what ever happens profits are your Appraisal figures. U show numbers & u get appraised. If not benched or pink slip.
So everywhere " APPRAISAL " has different meanings..we have to figure it out.
