Appraisal interviews
This method aims to evaluate past performances of an activity developed within a group and identify areas of further improvement.

Tips
The activities developed by each actor within the organisation should be described. This approach allows us to identify the tasks that are more relevant for achieving the goals expected. It is crucial to evaluate the past activities carried out and to set the goals for the appraisal interview with a specific action plan. Share your view about the performance and discuss potential improvements. Find mutual agreements on the results of the performance assessment and delineate together the next steps to improve it.
