This video shows an example of a correct and incorrect appraisal.
Discuss methods that a supervisor might use to evaluate an employee’s performance in the workplace.
1. Brainstorm methods that a supervisor might use to evaluate performance. Choose three methods that you feel are most appropriate and include these in your response paper.
2. Evaluate each of the three methods you chose in terms of its potential usefulness. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of each method in relation to the traditional system being used. Deficiencies and shortcomings exist in all evaluation methods and you may think in terms of what aspects of performance will be captured for each method and how accurately the supervisor can evaluate the employee on these aspects of performance.
3. Discuss and respond to these questions about your evaluation of the methods you have chosen:
Do you feel that performance appraisals are important? Why? Why not?
What is the traditional system being used and how can it be improved?
