Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the performance appraisal processes among employees in the textile industry, specifically within Atlas Textile Private Limited. The research focuses on understanding how performance appraisals influence employee engagement, productivity, and overall professional growth.
Methodology
The study adopts a systematic random sampling method to select a sample of 100 employees from a population of 200 employees at Atlas Textile Private Limited.

The findings highlight that regular feedback and clear communication contribute to enhanced employee engagement. Furthermore, the study suggests that initiatives like face-to-face interaction, on-the-job training, and recreational tours can improve employee well-being, thereby contributing to better performance and higher productivity.
Originality/Value
