An effective performance appraisal system not only identifies performance differences among employees but also reinforces organizational core values. It helps in aligning employee performance with organizational goals and values. It can also help in identifying areas where improvements are needed in organizational processes that evaluate employee job performance. Additionally, an effective performance appraisal system can help in identifying employees who need development as well as progressive discipline, but this should not be the sole outcome.
