An appraisal can be a pivotal moment in your career. It not only helps in recognizing your past year’s work but also paves the way for upcoming opportunities and potential promotions. Asking for an appraisal, however, can be daunting if you’re not sure how to approach HR. This guide aims to simplify that process, giving you the confidence to make your request effectively.
Before approaching HR for an appraisal, it’s crucial to gather all the necessary information that highlights your accomplishments. This preparation involves collecting any emails of praise from coworkers or supervisors, noting any successful projects you’ve led or contributed to significantly, and any quantifiable improvements you’ve brought to the team or company. Having a solid case can make your request for an appraisal much stronger.
Timing can significantly influence the outcome of your request. Ideally, you want to ask for an appraisal at a time when the company is planning budgets and promotions. This period typically happens once a year in most firms but check with your HR to confirm the schedule. By aligning your request with these strategic times, you are more likely to receive a favorable response.
Rather than catching someone off guard, schedule a formal meeting with your HR representative. This shows professionalism and gives both of you adequate time to prepare for the discussion. During the meeting, be clear and concise about why you believe an appraisal is warranted. Use the evidence you’ve prepared to back up your request.
