Week 5: Performance Appraisals

Despite lots of attention, money, and effort, performance appraisals remain an area with which few managers or employees are satisfied. The following questions serve as a catalyst for discussing these issues. Is it just that we don't have a good enough system yet, is there an intrinsic problem with performance appraisals, or is it just human nature to dislike them?

What are the different performance appraisal methods? Pick two: the one you find to be most effective (and tell us why) and the one you find to be least effective (and tell us why).

For the most effective, explain how it is effective in doing the following.

·         Providing fair and reliable ways of differentiating employees

·         Targeting and rewarding those who most deserve it

·         Setting forth a fair and cost-effective plan for compensation

·         Motivating and ensuring performance of employees

For the least effective, explain how it interferes in the above four items.
