This document discusses performance appraisal, stress management, and the findings of a survey on these topics. The key points are: 1) A survey found that most respondents felt performance management was clearly defined, but some did not. It suggested improving communication and feedback to address this. 2) The survey also found not all factors impacting performance were considered in appraisals. It recommended regularly gathering employee feedback to improve the system. 3) Respondents were unclear if their performance improved due to the system or other factors. The suggestion was to better communicate with employees about their performance.
