How can performance appraisals be used to motivate staff?

Instead of focusing on what they have not done well find what they enjoy and are good at in their role. Set SMART goals that allow them to measure themselves for improvement. When we have a goal and we are doing something we now enjoy, we are more devoted to the cause and we meet and even sometimes exceed goals. 

performance appraisals can be used as a monitoring tool for the staff them selves, they should have access to the results so they can evaluate themselves by themselves, some will take it as a positive thing while other might take it as a negative thing, therefore you need to understand the types of employees you have as well as he type of environment you provide for them and from there you can manage you actions and never forget to motivate you need to find that spark within everyone.
