How to Do Your Assessment for Performance Appraisal

Whenever there is a time of performance appraisal in the office, then everyone eagerly waits for his/her work assessment, and when results come out then some seem happy and some not so happy. There are many things in such performance assessment reports about which most of us don’t know. So if you are not happy with your work assessment then take a look at these points:

Meet With Your Boss
It can be the case that your performance is not according to what the company is expecting. So if you are not happy with your work assessment then meet with your boss by taking appointment at right time and then try to find out that what is missing in your work. Assess yourself without comparing yourself with others. See where you can improve according to the projects that have done.

Control Your Mood
Don’t get overexcited when your work assessment is good and likewise don’t get angry due to bad results. Analyze yourself where you lacked in your work and then try to improve in that area.

Do Something Different
To look different among everyone you have to do something different. Try to take on extra work and perform well in that work. Many times employees don’t take credit for their extra work which should not be done, tell your boss about all the extra work that you have done in a brief and data based manner.

Talk to Immediate Boss
Don’t wait to get feedback from the company, which can take a long time. Instead talk to your immediate boss for fast feedback about your work.

Never Discuss with Co-Employees
Never share your views about your performance report with your co-workers, they can do more harm instead of helping by disturbing you emotionally.

Things on which Performance Appraisal is Based
Apart from your work performance there are many other things on which your performance appraisal is based like your behavior, discipline etc. Your commitment towards your company also matters a lot.

Meet with the Managers
If you are completely sure about the work that you have done then you can meet with your senior managers as well and tell them your side of the story.

Don’t Share Information
If somehow you get informed about the promotion that you are getting or about some kind of pay increase then never discuss this with others because most of the companies don’t take this in a good way. Keep all the information to yourself and wait for the right time.

Off Topic: Know your mind

The mind has many layers, and each layer serves a different function. In the old way of thinking, the mind was present only in the physical organ called the brain, and it sent instructions to the rest of the body through the nerves, which the body carried out like a machine, with out understanding.

However, now it is believed that the mind is found in every part of the body. Modern medicine is able to explain the mind only up to this level, whereas the ancient sciences also explain things like clairvoyance and special memory. The physical or gross mind: This has the ability to pick up signals that are important for survival, such as hunger and pain, and the urge to procreate.

The sensory layer: This is concerned with sensory impulses, such as the sensation of fullness, the feeling of pressure, pain, sound, taste and sight.

The thinking layer: This is the layer that works things out logically. It is connected to worldly wisdom. This layer of the mind also gives us our egos – our sense of ourselves as individuals. When we say ‘I’ and ‘I am like this’, it is the product of this layer of the mind. This part is hurt when our egos are bruised.

The empathy layer: This is about compassion and a love for others in a non-contractual way, where what we do for other creatures is not limited by thoughts of what we get in return.

The special gifts layer: Things like a high degree of creativity and clairvoyance are the products of this layer of the mind. People show evidence of these gifts only if they remain clear of the clutter of thoughts raised by the lower layers.

The special wisdom layer: This is the layer of the mind that can see the past, present and future. It is connected to the cosmic mind and has at its disposal the wisdom of the past, present and future. This is the ultimate layer of the mind, ready to experience enlightenment. The ultimate mind is the mind that experiences and lives in bliss. It is the pinnacle of knowledge, wisdom, the senses and stillness.
