Staff appraisals{{/B}}Good preparation for staff
appraisals can pay dividends in terms of staff loyalty and satisfactionMany
managers, particularly those running smaller companies, feel
they are too busy to give their employees appraisals, and many staff clearly
dread them.{{U}} (0) G {{/U}}.They provide the opportunity for the manager to
have one-to-one discussions with an employee and find out about any concerns, as
well as identifying training needs and discovering
career aspirations. They can make a staff member feel valued and so build
loyalty.The annual appraisal can either be a rewarding or
painful experience. According to research carried out among 500
employees, the standard office appraisal is far from
perfect.{{U}} (8) {{/U}}The possible outcome for the company is even
worse; up to a quarter of employees will look for a new job within two weeks of
a bad appraisal and 40% within a month.The quality of the appraisal lies
with how the boss decides to carry it out. When it is done well, employees are
able to use the feedback they receive to improve their performance.{{U}} (9)
{{/U}}So how should a constructive appraisal be carried out? According
to Andrew Gillingham, a consultant trainer, appraisals
can be manager -led. with the appraiser preparing a
document and sharing it with the employee. Establishing
training needs and motivating the employee towards
bigger and better things are part of this process.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}.In
both cases, Gillingham believes that the effectiveness
of the appraisal discussion can determine the performance of the
company.Gillingham believes that anyone who thinks it's just
the employee who doesn't like the appraisal experience has got
it wrong. Too many managers regard appraisals as a waste of time.{{U}} (11)
{{/U}}Managing people is a difficult matter, and without
the necessary training, many managers try to avoid the uncomfortable
issues that often need to be discussed at appraisals.Gillingham believes
that calling the process an appraisal may be unhelpful.{{U}} (12)
{{/U}}In either 'case, it is important to ensure that the meeting is
successful and results in better quality management. Gillingham firmly believes
that the main thing is to emphasise an open communications ethos
in the workplace that gives staff a chance to talk about issues and
feel valued.A. Alternatively, managers may want the employees themselves to
evaluate their work performance.B. In larger companies, the people likely to
do something with this information will be found in the HR department.C.
Problems such as rushing through the appraisal and being appraised by a manager
who doesn't understand the employee's role were common concerns.D. Arguably,
'performance review' is more appropriate since it helps create correct
expectations from the meeting and indicates what will happen.E. This is
mainly because they have not been shown how to carry out appraisals
properly.F. But all too often, the format of the appraisal doesn't allow
this.G. But this can be avoided and, given a more positive attitude from
participants, appraisals can prove enormously useful for all involved.

Development of our next magazine advertising campaign is underway, our

for the second ad, Marshall and Dupree has responded44. it to the current

填空题·Read the article below about research and development in industry and the
questions on the opposite page.·For each question 13—18, mark one letter (A,
B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
{{B}}Research and Development in
Industry{{/B}}It is only through innovation that large companies will be able
to survive, according to Mark Peter, vice-chair- man of UK-owned industrial
giant 5P. However, says Peter, it remains difficult to run a truly innovative
company. Innovation involves speculation, unproven technologies and
unpredictable costs. It takes a lot of managing, because managers really have to
be on top of what's happening. In addition, innovation does not fit easily into
the orderly kind of organization that company accountants like. Despite this,
Peter claims it is an essential policy to pursue.The 5P group's record of
growth aid profitability indicates that it manages the orderly part of the
business pretty well. The statistics are big: operations in more than 60
countries, sales in more than 200. around 60, 000 products and 70, 000
employees. But what makes 5P different is its innovative approach to innovation
itself. Although it is a massive multi-national with a turnover of $ 15 billion,
the whole company is bro- ken down into tiny groups which work together and help
each other and are then encouraged to consult internally with the other groups.
This positively encourages individual and collaborative research.A further
encouragement is that all research staff world-wide are expected to work on 5P
projects for only 85% of their times for the remaining 15% of time they are free
to pursue ideas of their own, using company facilities. In this time they can
work on their own or in a group. One hugely successful project that has come out
of this 15% rule is the Post-it note. The idea came from an individual inventor
and then. using the business skills of a large organization, was rapidly
developed into a major product. The success of the Post-it note proves how
profitable the innovative 15% rule can be.Mark Peter says innovation is at
the heart of 5P. In 1996. more that 30% of sales were generated by products less
than four years old. He says: "We almost always get into new markets
through innovation. We're very good at adapting these innovations to lots of
different markets so we have a high success rate. We take an idea and see how
many applications it's got. Then we try to establish market dominance. We have a
tremendous variety of technologies so we can adapt anything but we still need
the original ideas to develop." In the past year 5P has introduced a group-wide
program called Pacing Plus. This means that they are still actively seeking new
ideas, but with the difference that they hope many of them will eventually lead
to the establishment of completely new business. In this way, 5P will be able to
invest in a wide range of markets and even create some new ones.This
emphasis on innovation creates unusual stresses and strains and makes a company
like 5P a difficult business To manage. Technical people at 5P are given a large
degree of intellectual freedom, and the company appears to specifically try to
recruit people who think for themselves and who don't necessarily solve things
by the traditional routes. The management encourages people to step outside of
the security that comes from working in a big, stable group, and then to handle
the consequences. So far the mixture of freedom and heavy responsibility seems
to work: the 25 research schemes now under review could generate business worth
$ 6 billion a year.
