The following information will support employee training and development:

2. Performance Appraisals
The purpose of Performance Appraisals is to provide employees with feedback in terms of:
- what they are doing well, and
- areas that could be improved

Performance appraisals, if done well, can improve employee motivation and productivity.
The use of an appraisal template (link below) will support these conversations.
