Keep written notes throughout the year to avoid

One negative event hangs over individual and hold over their head

Management by objective- supervisor works with employee to set goals

The manager guides the process of setting goals, but the employee is the one that sets them

Effective appraisal

Should include someone who observes work standard

known in advance when it will occur

360 appraisals

Best to use the same standards in the same job

Uses feedback from other people/ departments in addition to manager

Employee self-assessment

Praise Sandwich

Appraising a employee with multiple deficiencies, should focus on one or two issues

Start with positive add a one/ two negatives but end with a positive (be specific)

Matthew effect

Rich get richer and poor get poorer
