Dear Team,

We are about to embark on our annual performance appraisal cycle - a key opportunity to provide fair and thoughtful feedback to our dedicated team members we understand that this process can be quite challenging and as such, we've provided detailed instructions and updated metrics to guide your evaluations.

The purpose of these appraisals is not only to review the performance of our staff over the past year but also to use this information to help improve the trajectory of their careers and that of our organization we view these appraisals as a tool for growth so each manager must approach this process with care.

We have set clear instructions and specific metrics for every job role in our organization this year we have made a few updates to the appraisal procedure to make it more comprehensive and ensure greater fairness notably:

• All appraisals will now include an assessment of soft skills, including communication and teamwork.

• We've attached an appraisal schedule to ensure that appraisal meetings occur promptly and uniformly across all departments.

We encourage you to reach out to the HR department if you have any queries or need any further clarification regarding the updated appraisal process.

Thank you for your attention to this vital part of our organization's growth and success.
