3 Staff Agreement to the Performance Evaluation Rating
Even if the evaluation has been undertaken fairly and objectively, an employee may not agree with their rating. If their complaint is not addressed and resolved, they may develop a distrust of the supervisor involved and cease to work hard. Supervisors must have a performance evaluation meeting with each member of staff to reach an agreement over the performance rating.
To reach a consent over performance ratings, the following points must be taken care of.
・Employees must be made to understand the purpose of the performance evaluation.
・Opinions should be exchanged on a regular basis over work performance and not just at evaluation time.
・When supervisors hold performance evaluation meetings with their staff, they must, in addition to informing them of their evaluation rating, listen to their staffs self-evaluation of their performance.
・Supervisors must never be dismissive of an employee's character or sense of values.
・They must discuss the facts supporting the evaluation rather than the rating itself.
・Supervisors should consider how the performance evaluation may be best be utilized, especially in respect to motivating their staff. The result of the performance appraisal may be useful, not only for the personnel division, but the supervisors themselves.
