Performance Appraisals
We had a section on performance appraisals in our HR simulations. As a group, we decided to have our managers appraised by the people they manage. When we got our results back, the managers were angry that we had chosen to let workers appraise their superiors. I am not sure why they were mad because it is the only way to get a comprehensive performance review. If an individual only gets feedback from their superiors they will not really know how effective of a manager they are. There is also the idea of self-appraisals. We chose to do this as well, but I did not want to. I think doing a self-appraisal can be extremely beneficial to you personally, but I do not believe that it should be included in your performance review for the company.
