ireally doubt most of the company not even considering the staff to promote them are having any sort of appraisal every year. I found some company they dont even talk to the staff if april or may comes and in tern before the employee ask they will give some reason to delay the process. How the employer should act once every financial year over they haveto call all the staff and figure out what the employee needs and they shoud encourage them by one to one talk. First thing is all the employer should fix one day or two days it depends on the strength of the employee in an organisation and jot out the employee name discuss with them about the minus and plus of the each employee and according to their skill and contribution to the company over all performance etc. and give performance wise increment and addition to this considering the cost of living according to the present economy there should be one increment that means overall an employee should get better rise and should be happy to continue in the same organisation for ever. Most of the company in india they do not have financial disepline that is why they are not able to run the show properly.
