This is an open ended question? Is there a diffrence between performence management and performence appraisal?
From India, Pune

Yes, there is.

PMS is all about deciding employees' goals and work, developing employees' capabilities, evaluating performance, and rewarding efforts, all within the framework of aligning employees' goals with business goals. Performance Appraisal is a part of PMS wherein performance is evaluated relative to set standards.

I hope this has provided some clarification.

Dear Richa,

The basic difference is in the philosophy they adhere to. Performance appraisal is not a part of Performance Management. PMS is a futuristic approach, whereas PA is an approach related to past performance. PA is only for reward and punishment, but the main motive for PMS is learning and development. Learning and development are possible where there is no assessment and direct control.

Hello,

Performance management is a continuous process. Performance appraisal should be a continuous process but is usually a once or twice-yearly review.

Please find attached a self-assessment questionnaire containing a range of activities relating to performance management.

This is an open-ended question. Is there a difference between performance management and performance appraisal?

Yes, performance appraisal is a part of performance management system. In the first one, you are just appraising the person, and in the second one, you are setting the targets, communicating that to the employee, training the employee to achieve those targets, setting the evaluation criteria and parameters for promotions and rewards.

"PA is a part of PMS" is the greatest gross mistake that most HR people make. In an organization, either you have PA or PMS. It can't be both. :(

I am willing to have a debate on this. You can have PA without PMS, but you cannot have PMS without PA. PMS is an exercise that you do over a period of time, usually one year. PA is just grading the person and giving a score.

Just to elaborate on my previous remarks, you cannot replace PA with PMS or vice versa. These two are not the same. Here is an article and research report to explain the same: http://humanresources.about.com/od/p...rmancemgmt.htm

I hope this will help all the readers. Happy reading. Keep sharing and keep growing.

In case of any doubt, mail me at
