Sometimes I feel so frustrated by preformance ratings. If you removed performance completely…what would you replace them with?

If you are frustrated with performance ratings, it’s not the ratings you are frustrated with, it’s the communication about the philosophy of them.

Before each appraisal process there should be meetings for supervisors and meetings for line staff, explaining the process, what each persons role is, and what ratings mean.

To ensure consistency there should be meetings to ensure ratings are applied appropriately. For example, all employees can’t be an A. Ratings, to some degree need to follow a bell type of curve, because for ratings to be meaningful, they have to allow for variance between individual performance.

Ratings should be based on predetermined criteria, that was shared with the employee before the rating cycle begins. Managers should give frequent feedback during the course of the year so that there are no surprises at rating time. At the same time, employees should not only do a self appraisal at rating time, but they should ensure that they are getting regular feedback. Maybe send a regular update to their manager highlighting successes and challenges. Fact is when the appraisal comes out and the employee is surprised by the rating, it means year long feedback was ineffective.

Can’t promise you’ll always agree with your rating, but with context it’s easier to understand and to know what is needed to score higher

Fair enough!

I would replace them with more regular feedback. I have seen annual ratings create stress and bias. Ongoing conversations feel more useful and honest.

Agree with this for sure!
