A new manager, Faiza, has finished her employee performance appraisals and is about to have her first feedback meeting with an employee who has received a relatively poor rating. Describe the most ideal way for her to conduct this.
What will be an ideal response?
Faiza should choose a neutral setting, such as a conference room, to hold the
appraisal so it doesn’t seem like a domineering business meeting. She should try to
begin the session by praising things the employee has done well so that the tone of the
meeting is not accusatory. If she has done her job, she will have reviewed the
employee’s self-assessment, which she can then go over and compare with feedback
from other employees and her own notes. She should use the previous year’s appraisal
and goal-setting (if there is one) to help with the new explanation of results and to help
the employee set new goals for the next year. She should also focus on helping the
employee solve the problem and coming up with solutions to weaknesses, not
threatening or using discipline as the means for improvement.

On January 1, the first department—Mixing—had a zero beginning balance. During January, 42,000 gallons of chemicals were started into production. During the month, 34,000 gallons were completed, and 8000 remained in process, partially completed.
