The employee and the reporting manager (ie the manager completing the appraisal form), who is typically the employee’s line manager, should be involved in the evaluation process. The process will generally involve an appraisal meeting held in a quiet and comfortable area of the workplace away from other colleagues.
The reporting manager’s manager (ie the ‘review manager’) should also be involved in the appraisal process, to monitor the appraisal and ensure its fairness and credibility. While the review manager will not typically be present at the appraisal meeting itself, they should review the completed Employee Appraisal Form.
