Avoiding Biases in Performance Appraisals

	          		My experience indicates that while an employee is being appraised, there are certain cognitive biases which effect the performance appraisal.

Is there any process or method to remove or decrease the occurence of such biases while appraissing? Thanks for your advice...

The key is in setting measurable KPIs and having an independent way of monitoring them, such as an automated system devoid of human intervention.
