Dear Mr. Nasbramhall,

I tried to find a comparison between performance management and performance appraisal using Google search, but I couldn't find the answer. Can you help me with what actually the answer is?

Hello,

The information you requested in a nutshell.

- Performance appraisal: Used to conduct in organizations periodically (half-yearly/annual, etc.) to find out the effectiveness of the concerned employee. This is done using different models like 360-degree feedback.
- Performance management: A system that includes 'performance appraisal' as one of its elements. It is used to regularly monitor an employee's performance and the findings are used to enrich/improve their performance based on the organization's current and future business needs. The main objective is to bring about strong and steady growth in their performance.

Stephen.

Performance management incorporates performance appraisal, promotions, career paths, etc. When we look at every possible aspect of managing an employee's performance in the organization, then it is performance management. However, performance appraisal is one of the ways, or better to say "tools," through which performance management is done.
