I. Contents of getting performance appraisal summary examples
==================
The performance appraisal should be used as a developmental plan for an employee's career. To
write an effective performance review, managers need to understand what information is
important. The manager's point of view should be in the performance appraisal and so should
input from the employee. The final appraisal should contain information that the company can
use in determining potential pay raises, whether the employee is management material and can
be passed on to the employee's next manager for reference.
Step 1
Review the notes kept during the year on the employee's performance. This will help remind you
of the positive and negative accomplishments throughout the year, and it will give you an
accurate accounting of the employee's actual performance.
Step 2
Analyze the employee's self-evaluation and compare that to your notes from the year. You can
prepare for the one-on-one appraisal meeting better when you have an understanding of how the
employee perceives his performance, and how that compares to the notes you have taken.
Step 3
Write out a summary of the employee's performance on the year based on the combined
information found in your notes and the employee's self-evaluation. You may find that the
information in the self-evaluation reminded you of aspects of the employee's performance that
you had forgotten. Compile a summary to be used in the appraisal meeting.
Step 4
Create a developmental plan for the employee by comparing their performance for the year to the
human resources job description associated with their position. By seeing what the employee's
assigned job duties are and comparing them to his actual performance, you can better create a
plan that will help the employee improve.
Step 5
Take notes at the one-on-one appraisal meeting and incorporate those notes in with the final
appraisal report. Include all of the material you have developed for the annual review, including
your yearly notes and the employee's self-assessment in the final review package.
==================
III. Performance appraisal methods
1.Ranking Method
The ranking system requires the rater to rank his
subordinates on overall performance. This consists in
simply putting a man in a rank order. Under this method,
the ranking of an employee in a work group is done
against that of another employee. The relative position of
each employee is tested in terms of his numerical rank. It
may also be done by ranking a person on his job
performance against another member of the competitive
group.
Advantages of Ranking Method
i. Employees are ranked according to their performance
levels.
ii. It is easier to rank the best and the worst employee.
Limitations of Ranking Method
i. The “whole man” is compared with another “whole man”
in this method. In practice, it is very difficult to compare
individuals possessing various individual traits.
ii. This method speaks only of the position where an
employee stands in his group. It does not test anything
about how much better or how much worse an employee
is when compared to another employee.
iii. When a large number of employees are working, ranking
of individuals become a difficult issue.
iv. There is no systematic procedure for ranking individuals
in the organization. The ranking system does not eliminate
the possibility of snap judgements.
2. Rating Scale
Rating scales consists of several numerical scales
representing job related performance criterions such as
dependability, initiative, output, attendance, attitude etc.
Each scales ranges from excellent to poor. The total
numerical scores are computed and final conclusions are
derived. Advantages – Adaptability, easy to use, low cost,
every type of job can be evaluated, large number of
employees covered, no formal training required.
Disadvantages – Rater’s biases
3. Checklist method
Under this method, checklist of statements of traits of
employee in the form of Yes or No based questions is
prepared. Here the rater only does the reporting or
checking and HR department does the actual evaluation.
Advantages – economy, ease of administration, limited
training required, standardization. Disadvantages – Raters
biases, use of improper weighs by HR, does not allow
rater to give relative ratings
4. Critical Incidents Method
The approach is focused on certain critical behaviors of
employee that makes all the difference in the
performance. Supervisors as and when they occur record
such incidents. Advantages – Evaluations are based on
actual job behaviors, ratings are supported by
descriptions, feedback is easy, reduces recency biases,
chances of subordinate improvement are high.
Disadvantages – Negative incidents can be prioritized,
forgetting incidents, overly close supervision; feedback
may be too much and may appear to be punishment.
5. Essay Method
In this method the rater writes down the employee
description in detail within a number of broad categories
like, overall impression of performance, promoteability
of employee, existing capabilities and qualifications of
performing jobs, strengths and weaknesses and training
needs of the employee. Advantage – It is extremely
useful in filing information gaps about the employees
that often occur in a better-structured checklist.
Disadvantages – It its highly dependent upon the writing
skills of rater and most of them are not good writers.
They may get confused success depends on the memory
power of raters.
6. Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales
statements of effective and ineffective behaviors
determine the points. They are said to be
behaviorally anchored. The rater is supposed to
say, which behavior describes the employee
performance. Advantages – helps overcome rating
errors. Disadvantages – Suffers from distortions
inherent in most rating techniques.
