Appraisal Answer

I have many experience in filling in the appraisal.



For your case, even if you are an one man band, you can still think of some improvement in your job area.



Please think of anything you can do better than now so that you can think of how to improve in next year;

if there's any complaint for your area, think how to correct it in next year;

think of anything that can help to save cost;

think of any area that can generate efficiency or can generate more income for the company.



Set good goals for yourself and try to achieve it in the next year so that it helps you to deliver good performance. Just try your best for it.

A good report to management should include the past and recent performance that can reflect the rate of improvement and make goal setting in coming year. The report should also include the Key Performance Indicators of each line department and staff department, which may have different ingredients such as sale, profit, cost, productivity, energy saving, number of errors & mistakes, number of training conducted, employee turnover, absenteeism & sickness & lateness, new product creation and its adoption, and new customer and market development and the like.



Conclusions and recommendations should be included in your report at the end
