Answer to Question 1

Answer: The first technique is to learn and understand the potential problem and possible solutions. Simply understanding the potential for the problem can help to avoid it. Second, using the right appraisal tool for each situation is important. Third, supervisors can keep a diary of critical incidents to file and use for later reference for subordinate's appraisals. This technique helps to ensure that both negative and positive incidents are recorded. Fourth, make sure that the primary goal of the appraisal is to improve unsatisfactory performance or reinforce exemplary performance. Finally, the appraisal should be fair. Many employers use rating committees. These committees usually contain the employee's immediate supervisor and two or three other supervisors. Using multiple raters makes sense. Although there may be discrepancies among ratings by individual supervisors, the composite ratings tend to be more reliable, fair, and valid. Using several raters can also help cancel out problems like bias and halo effects.
