Document background
The One To One Appraisal document serves as a critical tool for performance management and employee development within organizations operating under Irish jurisdiction. It is designed to be used during formal performance review meetings, typically conducted annually or bi-annually, though may also be used for interim reviews. The document ensures compliance with Irish employment law, including the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, Data Protection Act 2018, and Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014. It captures essential elements of the performance discussion including achievement assessment, goal-setting, development planning, and agreed actions, while providing a clear audit trail for HR processes and potential legal requirements. The structure supports fair and transparent performance evaluation practices while protecting both employer and employee interests.
