Dear HR Community

For many HR practitioners, It’s coming to that time of the year again - the annual appraisal exercise.  But are they still relevant and used by companies here?

Over the years, we may have read that more and more companies are doing away with formal annual appraisals since they seem to be more about bonuses then results.

And furthermore, we may not look forward to the exercise this year given the complications associated with assessing employees who are working from home.

The organisations who have done away with annual appraisals prefer to focus on the achievements and results of their employees every month or quarter rather than the once a year drill.

What do HR people think?
