Making performance appraisals a positive experience.
Performance appraisals can be fearful and frustrating experiences for both supervisors and subordinates. Many of the negative attitudes are due to conflicting goals for performance appraisal or to employee uncertainty and fear about the process. By involving employees in developing performance appraisal instruments and being sure they understand the entire process, laboratory managers can reduce the apprehension. The confidence of supervisors can be increased by teaching them how to accurately evaluate performance and to provide feedback. With an investment of time and effort, laboratory managers can make their performance appraisal programs a positive experience for both supervisors and subordinates.
