Why Performance Appraisal May Fail
Planning the Review & the Environment
• Advance planning –
• Plan for open dialogue – opportunity to review performance, consider lessons learned, progress for period, and establish goals and objectives for next period.
• Lay out plan for performance discussions – collect and review notes, statistics, citations and performance based examples.
• Schedule sufficient time to focus on the review.
• Prepare to discuss the full range of issues which may arise in the performance management discussion.
• Don’t exhibit defensiveness – if employee criticism is justified due to management failure or lack of resources, accept, and move on to next area of review.
• Respect confidentiality of the review discussion when possible. If unlimited confidentiality cannot be promised, advise employee accordingly.
• No cell phones, no emails, no text messaging, no electronic devices, no interruptions
Planning the Review & the Environment
Planning the Review & the Environment
• Job description/addendums should tie together with performance management.
• Handle dissent professionally – disagreements should be noted as a matter of record.
Difficult Evaluations• Describe unsatisfactory
performance/behavior• Cite specific observed examples – past
incidents or lack of meeting goals and impact on employee, team, customer, department, et al.
• Solicit constructive employee action plan to resolve or ameliorate the performance failures or behavioral issue.
• Review action plan and establish milestone date(s) to review progress.
Planning the Review & the Environment
Developing “Ongoing” Performance Communications
• Recognize performance management is a continuing process to assist everyone in enhancing performance and development.
• Establish milestone dates for periodic monitoring of performance objectives and progress reports in objective terms.
• Be aware of the potential and, when necessary, take corrective action, if goals/objectives need to be changed or re-targeted during the review period.
• Maintain open communication channels to ensure that issues are elevated quickly and resolved expeditiously.
• Coach, assist, and/or re-direct employees who request assistance and those who are failing to meet standards.
Objectives / Goals• Identify S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant
and Time-Based) objectives for the employee
• Write performance objectives so that both parties understand its meaning and will know whether progress has been made or whether objective has been reached.
• A performance objective describes the specific areas in which the employee needs to focus and describes the specific actions that will be taken by the supervisor and/or the employee to develop and strengthen these areas, any training required, and the deadline for reaching the performance objective.
• In setting the objectives, be as specific as possible using quantitative (e.g., numbers, data, quotas, dates) and/or qualitative measures or feedback where helpful.
• The number of objectives should be based on the outcomes of the performance planning discussion; you may add and/or modify objectives as necessary throughout the review period.
• Define and establish specific goals/objectives for the review period.
• Create mutually agreed time lines of break out data for progress reports on goals and objectives.
• Communicate changes or redirection of goals and objectives in a timely manner.
Goal Setting/Setting Standards
Goal Setting/Setting Standards
• Align goals with the organization’s business plan.
• Establish mutually agreed to goals which add value.
• Recommend and recognize behaviors that are aligned with organizational business plans.

OutcomeSkills to enter payroll into the PPS system, on time, with a lower rate of error, in order to free up time for other administrative tasks.
Common Appraisal Errors
• Halo/Horn Effect – rate employees the same on every trait (The halo effect or halo error is a cognitive bias in
which one's judgments of a person’s character can be influenced by one's overall impression of him or her. )
• Central Tendency – lack of rating differentiation between employees
• Leniency – avoids honest ratings to avoid conflict
• Recency – narrow focus on recent events
• Similarity/Like me – favorable rating to employees who have similar values or interests to the rater
• Constancy – rate employees via rank order
