Answer to Question #268101 in Management for Ben

Question

Evaluate how a performance appraisal process might be modified or controlled to prevent a bias of feedback towards staff of different genders 

Answer 1

Setting clear targets is an obvious way of evaluating performance and developmental needs. It also reduces bias. Referring to goals before completing evaluations gives managers a more objective perspective than open-ended ones. It can be modified by developing a clear evaluation structure, agreeing on specific goals, checking performance metrics, gather feedback from multiple sources, and holding formal interim reviews.
