Can anyone tell the difference between PMS and performance appraisal

Hi friend,

Performance Appraisal is just a part of Performance Management System(PMS). PMS has greater scope which starts from Planning Work and Setting Expectations, Developing the capacity to perform, Continuously monitoring performance and Evaluating it.

Performance Appraisal only covers evaluation part for setting the parameters for Promotions and Rewards, Incentives etc.

Performance Appraisal is part of PMS where as PMS is very much wider which includes defining KRA's & assigning weightage to them, setting expectation level & evaluating productivity of the projects assigned.

Performance appraisal is limited to the scope of evaluation on the basis of set parameters.

PMS included design of Various Appraisal Form dept wise, target wise, project wise. setting guidelines for eveluation, designing PDP, emphasising on post appraisal activities too. It is continous effort/activity.
