FINDINGS
The method, which is been used by the company, is confidential report. Employees want the method to be replaced by 360-degree performance appraisal as it is very new method. Under this method the peers, managers etc. have to rate the employees performance. There is least chance for the biasness to occur. 60% of the raters are the HOD of the company .

 The basic criteria kept in mind while doing the performance appraisal is the output, which is been given by the employee and the overall work done by him during the period. After the performance is been rated the various kind of benefits are given to the employees as 70% said yes.
30% employees are partially satisfied and 20% are not satisfied by the present performance appraisal method used they want to go for a change and 70% said that the new method will definitely be beneficial for the company.

CONCLUSION
In Uflex , they are using the CONFIDENTIAL METHOD mostly to grade the performance of the employees. This method is very convenient to be used. But the drawback associated with the method is that it has now become an out dated method to be used because there are chances of biasness to occur for a particular employee by the raters.

The results are not discussed with the employees.

Suggestions & Recommendations

The company should go for the 360degree performance appraisal. The method of the company should be changed so that the employees have no chance to complain for the method. For the top management of the company ,appraise performance by recognizing their work in meetings etc. this will help to raise their moral and they can work better. They dont want financial help as they earn enough to maintain their status. They want their work recognition.

The results are to be discussed with the employees.

The employee should be aware of the performance appraisal technique at the time of induction.
