An ever-increasing amount of time is spent each year on staff assessment, and the benefits can be numerous. An appraisal can be informative, shedding light on areas of good performance; it can be constructive in that it can give employees an opportunity to consider areas for development within the job; and it can also be motivating by highlighting those skills, abilities and areas of knowledge that the individual has gained from the job. However, the frequency of appraisals is the focus of criticism by some people, who state that assessments do not take place at appropriate times, i.e. in time for an individual to address performance areas in time for a promotion, and therefore it is likely that half of the time spent on assessment is used ineffectively.

This inertia typically reflects the belief that their contribution would be inconsequential, and, to a lesser extent, uncertainty about the appropriate channels to use. The data also suggested that interested followers are likely to discuss their views with other individuals. While this is a valuable means of promoting environmental awareness, it would be more beneficial to get involved with the societies themselves.
16 Uncertainty over the appropriate channels to use is the main reason that supporters do not get involved in the campaigns.false

Minimum wage policies, first introduced in the service industry and leading to a reduction in employee exploitation, were the result of numerous studies. The studies confirmed that a national minimum wage is an important parameter in employee security, and campaigners were rewarded with key backing from worker’s unions.
