Describe the methods of performance management with examples.
What will be an ideal response?
(Answers will vary.) Most organizations use a standard form to evaluate employee
performance. There may be an overall global rating for performance, but there are also
specific dimensions that are rated (outstanding, exceeds expectations, meets
expectations, below expectations, and unsatisfactory). These ratings are typically on a
graphic rating scale having multiple points along a continuum. Another approach is to
use behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) in which a vertical scale is presented
with specific examples of performance provided. Some organizations use a forced-
ranking method in which all employees in the work group are ranked relative to one
another.
