ABSTRACT

Human resources are the most vital resources in any organization.  This is because human resources plan, coordinate and control other resources (time, material, capital etc) in an appropriate form in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization. Having viewed the importance of the human resources, there is the need to evaluate the jobs to be performed by all employees in an organization as well as the performance of the employees.  This write up is divided into four sessions.  Session one looks at the introduction, concepts, process and methods.  Session two looks at the differences between job evaluation and performance appraisal.  Session three explains the importance of job evaluation and performance appraisal in improving employees performance while session four explains the conclusion and recommendations for the subject matter. It is an undisputable fact that the caliber of human resources of an organization determines the success or failure of the organization, hence the need to appraise the performance of human resources in an organization.
