What is NOT generally a consideration in employee performance appraisals?

In the context of employee performance appraisals, external job offers are not typically considered a relevant factor. Performance appraisals are primarily focused on assessing an employee's contributions, skills, and behavior within the organization. Factors such as job-specific skills, attendance records, and the potential for pay increases are directly tied to the employee's performance and productivity.

Job-specific skills evaluate how well an employee performs their duties and contributes to team success. Attendance records reflect reliability and commitment, which are crucial for any organization's operational efficiency. Additionally, assessing pay increase potential is often based on performance appraisal outcomes, aligning compensation with demonstrated employee value.

External job offers, however, do not provide an objective measure of an employee’s current performance or potential within the company. They may indicate that an employee is sought after in the job market, but they do not inherently reflect the employee's contributions to their current employer or their alignment with the organization's goals. Therefore, they are not generally a consideration in performance appraisals.
