How to Handle Employees After Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal is an important and interesting time for every employee because this is the time when the performance of every employee is reviewed over a certain time period. This also involves feedbacks on his working and appreciating his dedication and work. But when managers send these appraisal letters there are all kinds of emotions seen amongst employees; some are happy as they have been fairly rewarded and some are disappointed as they have not received what they were expecting. Workers never utter a word when they have received a good hike but they always have complaints when appraisals don’t go as per their expectations.
Hence, it is extremely important for the managers to handle employees after their appraisal because it is essential for the organization and its performance. This article talks about some of these points.
Congratulate the ones who have received a decent appraisal
As a manager you must never forget to appreciate and congratulate the worker who has either good a hike in his salary or has been promoted. This is important as desires your acknowledgement and it works as a dose of motivation for him to work with more of dedication and enthusiasm to deliver better performance. Also a person who has worked with honesty, dedication and discipline throughout the year deserves to be congratulated and appreciated for this performance. It is a sweet gesture which infuses him with energy and zeal.
Attend the ones who have received a bad appraisal
These are the most sensitive employees at present because after for one year, they feel all their efforts have gone down the drain because the appraisal that they have received is not what they had expected. As a result of this, suddenly they become extremely negative about the organization, about the reviewing authorities and about their immediate supervisors and managers. Well, such a behavior is quite expected when you are expecting something big. Hence, it is the duty of the management to handle these employees with utmost care because the way they behave after a bad appraisal is negative and immature. You need to sit with them and ask them to look for reasons because of which they have not been able to achieve what they had desired for. As a senior, it is your duty to show them a positive path and ask them not to lose to lose hope. You must cheer them and help them revive their confidence levels so that they can start working with greater force. You need to tell them that thinking negative about the organization and fighting with your colleagues will not do any good to you.
Here are some steps which you must keep in mind while speaking with them.
- Help them find reasons for such an appraisal
It is very much important that you ask them to look into reasons because of which they have been given a bad appraisal. This will help them find negatives in their working which they can improve and give their performance a boost. Self introspection is something that they need. This will help them not to think negative about the situation rather find out reasons for failure so that they can develop and become a better person. And for sure they will be able to look at the positive side of the situation and take a lesson from what has happened. And you would also come to know if your worker is facing some problem while delivering his duties. This way you will become aware about the weak aspects of your organization which you can also improve. Such a session can be mutually beneficial.
- Ask them to speak their heart to vent out the frustration
It is important to help these candidates find a vent to let their frustration and irritation out. This will help them speak their heart out. What they feel about management, what wrong has the managers done to them and various other things will help them feel at ease. You can send them motivational mails and quotes to help them perform better and not lose hope. You need to encourage them to work better and read motivational books. You can even ask them to talk their heart and they will surely feel better. You can even guide them to do the right thing. You will have to be really very patient with them.
So keep all these points in mind to make sure that you are able to deal with your workers in the most effective way once they have been appraised. If the one who is happy is not appreciated then he feels sad and likewise, the one who is not satisfied is not counseled rightly then he may feel negative about the organization.

Different Types of Performance Appraisal Biases
We all are humans and so we have prejudices and biases which become a part of our working and we don’t even know how. That’s the reason managers sometimes make mistakes while analyzing and evaluating the performance of their employees because they let their biases and judgment errors interfere with their decision. As a result of which, the process of performance appraisal gets spoiled. These biases are inaccurate distortion of performance measurement.
This article talks about different types of performance appraisals biases which are generally observed. Let us study each one of them one by one to find out how they affect the decision of the managers.
HALO EFFECT
This effect comes into picture when a manager measures the performance of an employee based on some of his perceived positive trait, characteristic, quality or feature. As a result, he ends up rating the employee either too high or too low in other features depending upon his ranking in any one trait which influences other traits. In case, the worker has been absent from work at few times then while evaluating the performance, manager ends up rating him high in other areas which affect his overall ranking.
PRIMARY OR FIRST IMPRESSION EFFECT
As the name suggests, this affect arises when the manager forms an overall impression about the individual he is evaluating for performance based on one particular feature of the individual defined by him. As a result, the performance evaluation gets affected because it doesn’t provide a proper base for evaluating the performance.
TOO MUCH OF LENIENCE OR STIFFNESS
It is quite natural to rate people on your own standards or values or our own mental makeup when we are evaluating. When managers are evaluating the performance of employees at the time of appraisal, they either rank them too strictly or too casually. It is natural for some supervisors to rank people high and some rank people with stiffness. This is so because the former kinds of people prefer taking the line of least resistance and the latter are very particular with rating and hence take assessment too seriously because of which they end up being extra strict. When supervisors rank individuals casually then the system becomes ineffective because there is no differentiation between those who perform well and those who perform average as everyone is enjoying high ranks.
HORN EFFECT
In this kind of performance bias, managers evaluate employee’s performance based on any one negative quality or the feature that they have perceived in their minds. Due to this, they end up giving a lower rank to the individual without taking into consideration other points which are actually related to the performance.
PERSONAL BIASES
This is yet another very common bias which is quite natural to happen. The way the supervisor feels about every person who works under him will always influence the appraisal. If he dislikes someone then obviously he is going to rank him negatively and vice versa. There can be various reasons for personal biases to occur. It can happen as a result of feedback from other employees, social background or family culture of that particular person.
RECECY EFFECT
In this bias, the individual is evaluated on the basis of his recent behavior or performance. The manager ends up forgetting his overall performance during a particular period and just keeping his recent behavior in picture while evaluating him which often leads to wrong ratings.
SPILLOVER EFFECT
In such a bias, supervisors tend to evaluate the present performance of an employee based on his past performance. For instance, if the person has not been a good performer then it is presumed to be a bad performer in the present times and vice versa.
CENTRAL TENDENCY
In this kind of bias, while evaluating and analyzing the performance, appraisers end up rating all the individuals as average performers. They neither rate anyone too positive nor too negative; rather they maintain a central tendency. This again hampers the evaluation process as there is not much difference between an average performer and an excellent performer.
All these performance appraisal biases interfere with the process and distort the results.

Performance Appraisal Dictionary
Performance appraisal glossary / dictionary / terms
1. Performance appraisal: also known as employee appraisal, is a method by which the job performance of an employee is evaluated (generally in terms of quality, quantity, cost and time). Performance appraisal is a part of career development.
2. Paired Comparison Method: Ranking employees by making a chart of all possible pairs of the employees for each trait and indicating which is the better Employee of the pair.
3. Forced Distribution Method: Similar to grading on a curve; predetermined percentages of ratees are placed in various categories.
4. Graphic Rating Scale: A scale that lists a number of traits and a range of performance for each. The employee is then rated by identifying the score that best describes his or her performance for each trait.
5. Alternation Ranking Method: Ranking employees from best to worst on a particular trait.
6. Critical Incident Method: Keeping a record of uncommonly good or undesirable examples of an employee’s work-related behavior and reviewing it with the employee at predetermined times.
7. Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS): An appraisal method that aims at combining the benefits of narrative and quantified ratings by anchoring a quantified scale with specific narrative examples of good and poor performance.
8. Management By Objectives (MBO): Involves setting specific measurable goals with each employee and then periodically reviewing the progress made.
9. Unclear Performance Standards: An appraisal scale that is too open to interpretation; instead, include descriptive phrases that define each trait and what is meant by standards like “good” or “unsatisfactory.”
10. Halo Effect: In performance appraisal, the problem that occurs when a supervisor’s rating of a subordinate on one trait biases the rating of that person on other traits.
11. Central Tendency: A tendency to rate all employees the same way, avoiding the high and the low ratings.
12. Strictness / Leniency: The problem that occurs when a supervisor has a tendency to rate all subordinates either high or low.
13. Bias: The tendency to allow individual differences such as age, race, and sex to affect the appraisal rates these employees receive.
14. Appraisal Interviews: An interview in which the supervisor and subordinate review the appraisal and make plans to remedy deficiencies and reinforce strengths.
