At this point in your life all of you have had the opportunity to have received and perhaps given performance appraisals. In that process if you are like me you have thought of how you would design a performance appraisal system if given the chance to do so. In that spirit I would like for you to assume that you are the HR director of a newly formed entity that employs professional knowledge workers of some type. Describe how you would evaluate the performance of these individuals and what processes you would establish to achieve the results you desire.
