Executive Summary
The outcomes that result from this study focus on the Performance Appraisal' process of two different Dhaka based companies. The analysis was carried out based on personal interview, information from the companys website and studying the modern HR practices. In this study we have two different organizations of Bangladesh as our subjects. Among the two companies we have observe, we found for the first company (IMpulse)the performance appraisal process is a regular practice and treated as anindispensible part of the organization. Whereas for the other company (Silver Line) performance appraisal is not a formal process, the management decides on the compensation and other aspects of performance appraisal from their own observation and perception. The study reveals that few obvious findings for us. Firstly, we feel that formal performance appraisal brings a lot of value to the organization in terms of compensation management, training and development, and career planning. It is highly recommended to any organization that wants to excel in this area. Secondly, it mostly depends on the management ability to foresee the value in formal HR practices. If the management can embrace it, they will eventually get benefited from it.

Appraisal Interview
An appraisal typically culminates in an appraisal interview. In this interview, supervisor and subordinates review the appraisal and make plans to remedy deficiencies and reinforce strengths. There are four basic types of appraisal interviews based on employeesperformance. They are; 1) satisfactory and promotable, 2) satisfactory but not promotable, 3) unsatisfactory but correctable, 4) unsatisfactory and uncorrectable. In our case, Impulse (BD) organizes appraisal interviews where they give feedback to their employees and make future plans to correct deficiencies or to reinforce strengths.
