A performance appraisal is the best and most commonly used method to assess the performance of an employee. However, an HR professional and a supervisor may also use alternative methods apart from a performance appraisal to assess the performance of an employee.
A common secondary method is comparing the performance against other employees. HR professionals and supervisors tend to compare the performance of employees who are on the same level so that they could understand the fluctuations in performance much better. With OrangeHRM, users can now easily compare the performance of an employee against other employees and understand the difference in performance levels and come to an informed conclusion.
