Document background
The Performance Appraisal Handbook is designed for organizations operating in Belgium that need to establish or update their performance evaluation systems in compliance with local and EU regulations. This document becomes necessary when companies need to formalize their performance management processes, ensure legal compliance, and maintain consistent evaluation standards across their organization. The handbook incorporates requirements from Belgian labor law, including mandatory consultation with works councils where applicable, data protection under GDPR, and anti-discrimination provisions. It is particularly relevant for organizations undergoing growth, implementing new performance management systems, or updating existing processes to meet current legal and business requirements. The document provides essential guidance for conducting fair, transparent, and legally compliant performance evaluations while promoting employee development and organizational success.
