To conduct good appraisal interviews, it is important to create an open and appreciative atmosphere. Start the conversation with a positive introduction to create a good basis. Listen actively and show interest in your employee's concerns and ideas. Ask open questions to enable a genuine conversation at eye level. Give constructive feedback, both praise and constructive criticism, and point out ways for further development. Be clear and specific in your statements.
It is also important to consider the employee's perspective and work out solutions together. Show empathy and treat different opinions with respect. Set clear goals and agree on concrete measures for implementation. Finally, you should summarize the discussion and make clear agreements. You can increase the motivation and satisfaction of your employees and build a good working relationship through regular appraisal interviews.
