13. Methods of Appraisal
Different industries and jobs need different appraisal
methods. We will discuss some of the main ways to assess
performance in a performance evaluation form. These will change
based upon the job specifications for each position within the
company.
17. RELATIVE
Group order ranking:
reflects the relative performance, such as
“top 20%”
Individual ranking: highest to lowest
Paired comparison: each individual is
compared to every other member
18. ACHIEVED OUTCOME- mutual objective-setting and evaluation
based on the attainment of the specific objectives
MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVE
Goal specific
Time based
Participative decision
making
Performance feedback
19. ● Executives reported that some of Microsoft's top engineers would avoid working
alongside each other out of fear that they would be hurt in their rankings.
● Certain employees were given what were known as M.B.O.s - Management
business objectives - which were essentially the expectations for what employees
would accomplish over a particular year.
● However, even when employees achieved these M.B.O.s, they were still not
guaranteed to receive a high ranking.
● Created a culture of sabotage - Employees would work hard to achieve the best
results, but, at the same time, they would try to ensure their colleagues did not.
24. Leniency error – Each evaluator has his/her own value system. – Some
evaluate high (positive leniency) and others, low (negative leniency).
Halo error: Evaluator lets an assessment of an individual on one trait
influence evaluation on all traits.
25. • Similarity error: Evaluator rates others in the same way that
the evaluator perceives him or herself.
• Low appraiser motivation: Evaluators may be reluctant to
be accurate if important rewards for the employee depend on
the results.
26. • Central tendency: The reluctance to use the extremes of a
rating scale and to adequately distinguish among employees
being rated.
• Inflationary pressures: Pressures for equality and fear of
retribution for low ratings leads to less differentiation among
rated employees.
• Inappropriate substitutes for performance: Effort,
enthusiasm, appearance, etc. are less relevant for some jobs than
others.
27. Attribution Theory
• Evaluations are affected based on whether someone’s performance
is due to
– internal factors they can control
– external factors which they cannot
• If poor performance is attributed to internal control, the
judgment is harsher than when it is attributed to external control.
28. Rahul is asked to rate his team members. He rates all of them as 3. No
differentiation exists. What kind of error is this?
29. Devika and Natasha are performing a job for different supervisors
with identical job performance. Natasha supervisors give her a 5 and
Devika gets a 3. What might be the error for this two dramatically
different evaluations?
30. Nibha rates a faculty member as outstanding on all criteria. Students
tend to do this when they are particularly appreciative of a few things
that a faculty it does in the classroom. What kind of error is this?
33. Use Behavior-Based Measures:
• Measures based on specific descriptions of behavior are more job-
related and elicit more inter-rater agreement than traits, such as
“loyalty” or “friendliness”.
34. Combine Absolute and Relative Standards:
• Absolute standards tend to be positively lenient; relative
standards suffer when there is little variability.
• Combining the standards tends to offset the weaknesses of each.
35. Provide Ongoing Feedback:
• Expectations and disappointments should be shared with
employees on a frequent basis.
36.
37. Use Multiple Raters:
• Increasing the number of raters leads to more reliable and valid
ratings.
– Use peer evaluations: Coworkers offer constructive
insights and more specific evaluations.
– Upward appraisals allow employees to give their managers
feedback.
38. Rate Selectively:
– Appraisers only evaluate in those areas about which they
have sufficient knowledge.
– Appraisers should be organizationally as close as possible to
the individual being evaluated.
– More effective raters are asked to do the appraisals.
39. Train Appraisers:
• Untrained appraisers who do poor appraisals can demoralize
employees and increase legal liabilities.

● A homepage with different sections of employee information,vacation

● Users can see their coworkers’ birthdays and their scheduled time off.
● Platforms-Web based,IOS,Android
45. Case study-Adobe
● Abandoned annual performance appraisals in 2012.
● The estimated annual appraisals time was around 80000 management
hours per year.(Nearly equals to 40 employees working year around)
● Annual appraisals were replaced with regular one-on-one check ins.
● There are no performance ratings or rankings.
● The employees are now assessed based on how they meet their goals.
● This resulted in increased employee engagement and decreased
voluntary turnover by 30%.
46. “ Performance Review is a formal assessment in which managers evaluate
employees based on their work performance to
Identify strengths
and weaknesses.
Offer feedback
Assist in goal
setting
➢ Usually performance reviews are held annually but now more
companies are moving toward a frequent feedback
performance management system .
47. Before starting the review process, following check points should be
kept in mind:
➔ What’s the objective?
➔ Who should participate?
➔ What should we measure?
➔ What kind of questions?
48. 1. Objective
a. Evaluation - assess the employee’s performance over a certain period of time to make key
business decisions
b. Development- enact a feedback process, and regularly provide employees with constructive
feedback to highlight how they can improve.
2. Participants
a. Employee (self)- self-evaluation form, an employee performs a self-assessment and reflects on
how they’ve performed
b. Peer - colleagues highlight the strengths and weakness of an employee’s performance over a
certain period of time.
c. Manager - direct reports analyze how their boss is performing both for the business and for the
direct report’s career.
49. 3. What to measure -
a. Leadership
b. Project Management
c. Culture
d. Career Development
e. Impact
f. Problem Solving
g. Communication Skills
4. Type of question-
50. Feedback
Types of feedback sessions:
• Tell-and-sell: the supervisor tells the employee the results of the
performance appraisal and explains the reasons why the appraisal is correct
• Tell-and-listen: the supervisor tells the employee the results of the
performance appraisal and listens to the employee's response
• Problem solving: the supervisor acts as a coach to assist the employees in
setting their own goals and in evaluating their own job performance
51. Performance appraisal meeting
● Managers should prepare for and schedule the appraisal in advance.
● Explaining the purpose of the meeting in advance
● By describing the purpose of the appraisal to the employees,they will know precisely how the
appraisal will be used.
● Involve the employee in the appraisal discussion.
● Ensure that the employees understand what was discussed in the appraisal.
● Focus of the discussion should be on work behaviours, not on the employee.
● Both positive and negative feedback should be given.
● A development plan should be generated
