ABSTRACT:

This research explores the awareness of the performance evaluation framework within a prominent stainless-steel fabrication firm. Performance evaluation plays a vital role in human resource management, particularly affecting motivation, job satisfaction, and productivity levels. Data was collected through a structured survey targeting employees from various departments and different levels of experience. The study looks into aspects such as employee awareness, fairness, transparency, the quality of the feedback provided, and the motivational effects of the evaluation process. The results show that although a majority of employees recognize and are fairly content with the current framework, significant shortcomings exist in terms of engagement, clarity regarding performance standards, and the effectiveness of the feedback., the system has considerable potential to improve workforce development, provided that it is bolstered by transparent practices and regular feedback mechanisms.
