Employees at all levels are responsible for actively communicating with their
supervisors about their performance, taking an active role in planning their
development, being accountable for their actions, and continually striving for
excellence in their performance in support of departmental and campus goals.
Supervisors are responsible for developing performance expectations with the
participation of employees; communicating throughout the performance
management cycle about employees' goals, performance, and development;
recognizing successful performance and coaching for improved performance; and
ensuring that employees have the tools, resources, and training and development
needed to carry out their duties successfully.
The University is responsible for providing an effective and fair performance
management system that encourages effective communication between employees
and supervisors and ensures that supervisors have the skills and time to carry out
performance management successfully.
The Role of the Supervisor Supervisors are Responsible For: Communicating the
unit goals to employees Assessing the unit performance as well as individual
performance Developing performance expectations with the participation of
employees Communicating (and documenting) throughout the performance
management cycle about employees goals, performance, and development
Recognizing and rewarding successful performance throughout the cycle
Coaching for improved performance and taking corrective action as necessary
Ensuring that employees have the tools, resources, and training and
development needed to carry out their duties successfully Supervisor
Preparation: Set a date and time in advance that is mutually convenient for both
you and the employee Be sure there is enough time allotted (1 1.5 hours) and
that it will be free from interruptions Select a place that is private and provides a
confidential environment Provide the employee with tools for self-assessment
and gather results Gather documents, including the job description, goals and
objectives from last year, the prior years evaluation Consider the employees
areas of responsibility and goals set at the beginning of the evaluation period,
what he/she has done well and where improvement may be needed; what you
are doing and what you can improve to support the employee Review 360
assessments and employees self-assessment Prepare a draft performance
evaluation to go over with employee
360 feedback
360 Degree Feedback 360 degree feedback is feedback that you collect from
an individuals direct reports (if they have any), colleagues or co-workers,
customers, and anybody else that the individual would have a lot of work contact
with; invite your employees to submit names of appropriate respondents to you
This enables you to get a well-rounded perspective on the quality of an
employees work and their interpersonal effectiveness 360 feedback MUST be
confidential; you are compiling summary comments and looking for trends and
patterns The best use of 360 degree feedback is for development purposes,
NOT for performance ratings or compensation decisions Coaching should be
provided to the individual on how to interpret their feedback and how to use it
for development planning Questions should measure specific behaviors and key
competencies associated with job performance and success; they should be
asked in behavioral terms and be actionable The more feedback gathered, the
better the data (information will be more reliable) Research shows that
performance, morale, and engagement can actually decline if a 360 process is
not done well or the feedback is negative and the employee gets upset; manage
the process carefully A basic 360 form
Objectives of Performance Appraisals
1. Promotions
2. Confirmations
4. Compensation reviews
5. Competency building
6. Improve communication
7. Evaluation of HR Programs
Numerous methods have been devised to measure the quantity and quality
of performance appraisals. Each of the methods is effective for some
purposes for some organizations only. None should be dismissed or
accepted as appropriate except as they relate to the particular needs of the
organization or an employee.
10. Essay Method: In this method the rater writes down the employee
description in detail within a number of broad categories like, overall
impression of performance, promote ability of employee, existing
capabilities and qualifications of performing jobs, strengths and
weaknesses and training needs of the employee. Advantage It is
extremely useful in filing information gaps about the employees that often
occur in a better-structured checklist. Disadvantages It its highly
dependent upon the writing skills of rater and most of them are not good
writers. They may get confused success depends on the memory power of
raters.

Performance Appraisal Tools and
Techniques
1. Ranking Method
The ranking system requires the rater to rank his subordinates on overall performance. This
consists in simply putting a man in a rank order. Under this method, the ranking of an
employee in a work group is done against that of another employee. The relative position of
each employee is tested in terms of his numerical rank. It may also be done by ranking a
person on his job performance against another member of the competitive group.
iii. The whole man is compared with another whole man in this method. In practice, it
is very difficult to compare individuals possessing various individual traits.
iv. This method speaks only of the position where an employee stands in his group. It
does not test anything about how much better or how much worse an employee is
when compared to another employee.
vi. There is no systematic procedure for ranking individuals in the organization. The
ranking system does not eliminate the possibility of snap judgements.
iii. The limitation of using this method in salary administration, however, is that it may
lead low morale, low productivity and high absenteeism.
Employees who feel that they are productive, but find themselves in lower grade(than
expected) feel frustrated and exhibit over a period of time reluctance to work.
ii. This method avoids recency bias (most recent incidents are too much emphasized)
iv. The supervisors have a tendency to unload a series of complaints about the incidents
during an annual performance review sessions.
vi. The recording of incidents may be a chore for the manager concerned, who may be
too busy or may forget to do it.
iii. Rater may be biased in distinguishing the positive and negative questions.
iv. It becomes difficult for the manager to assemble, analyze and weigh a number of
statements about the employees characteristics, contributions and behaviours.
