Decentralized Performance Appraisals

Decentralized Performance Appraisals

In my opinion, performance appraisal should be done at the small units (branches), especially in large corporations. In such organizations, employees are often required to perform many extra tasks which do not fall in their primary line of duties.
But when it comes to the PA, it is often done at the head office, and the organizations narrows down on the primary targets. As a result many employees are receiving unfair scores.
In my opinion, in such organizations, the appraisal should be left to the unit managers. By doing this, the level of subjectivity would be minimized.

	Decentralized Performance Appraisal I agree that performance appraisal (PA) should be done by the line supervisors. The PA tool should also include an aspect of tasks that were done, which were not among the primary ones. It would be good to also indicate what percentage of time such tasks took. This would give a fair picture of what the employee has been doing.
