An appraisal assessment is an evaluation given or conducted by a supervisor on an employee's job performance in an organization. The appraisal assessment helps determine whether the individual has met his or her goals and how much extra training may be needed. This report is often required for promotion, salary adjustments, future employment opportunities, and other reasons associated with benefits and compensation (Nutakor, 2019).
