Activity: Student Work Appraisal

Key Considerations

Employers use work performance appraisals or evaluations as a method to record and evaluate job performance. Essentially, your supervisor will give you feedback about your job performance which includes your productivity, appearance, work etiquette, skills demonstrated, etc. If your supervisor indicates you need to make improvements related to your job performance, you will most likely be given time to do so and be made aware of the consequences if your performance does not improve. Evaluations are used by employers to promote, retain, and fire staff. In addition, pay raises are often generated by performance appraisals.

Directions

Use the sample work performance appraisal to obtain feedback from the supervisor of your work experience or internship. Ask your supervisor and others who observe your performance, such as your job coach, to review the appraisal with you. Accepting and learning from the constructive criticism you receive from your job performance is essential to you growing as an employee and improving your work-related skills.
