Have existing system, but unhappy
A performance appraisal system is in place, but for various reasons, the organization is unhappy with it. They may feel it's ineffective, inappropriate, out-of-date or in need of an overhaul. They are interested in how to fix the problems, or if necessary, replace the system with something better.

No existing system
In this case, no employee appraisal process exists. The organization is keen to explore the possibilities. What kind of appraisal system would suit? How should it work? Whom should it include?

System in development
An appraisal system is under development and the organization wants it expertly critiqued. The idea is to find and fix any problems while the system is still formative and "under wraps".

WHY US?
It is prudent to have experienced advisers on your side who know the problems and pitfalls. We have helped hundreds of organizations with their appraisal programs over the last 30 years. We have worked with airlines in Africa, medical suppliers in the Middle East, engineering companies in China, manufacturers in Singapore, book publishers in Japan, colleges in the United States, and government agencies in Australia. Few could match our depth of experience. 

We can work for you, too. In Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, Cape Town, Chicago, or any other place. We go where we are needed. We pride ourselves on attending to our clients quickly and efficiently. 

FIRM FOUNDATION
The benefit of our involvement is that you will get an objective analysis of your organization's performance appraisal needs, combined with expert advice on the best options. This will give you a firm foundation to confidently go forward with changes in practice and policy. We also appreciate that your organization may have certain policy goals that need to be upheld: we are always sensitive  to such requirements.

WHAT WE DO
We investigate, recommend and report. We interview the key people whose ideas and views are critical to the appraisal project. We assess the needs of your organization. We take account of a wide range of issues, such as organisation culture, employee attitudes, best practices, and industry and occupational types. From the raw information, we compile our assessment report. Each report is unique and strictly confidential.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
The process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Very large and complex organizations may take longer.

SUBSEQUENT STAGES
What about afterwards? What if more help is needed with the design and deployment of an appraisal system? Will Archer North & Associates help with subsequent stages? Yes. If you want us to develop and deploy the whole system on-site, and train your people (or train your trainers) in how to use it, we can do that too. Our level of contribution is fully scaleable: you tell us how much or how little.
