The most important resource in any health care organization is the people. One of the many ways that management can improve individual performance is with a viable appraisal system.

With that in mind,

• Explain the importance of performance appraisal systems.
• Compare and contrast 2 different methods of performance appraisal (e.g., trait systems, comparison systems, or results-based systems).
• Select 1 of the 2 methods you compared and explain why you feel it is effective (use personal experiences if applicable).
