2.5 Overcoming the barriers to effective appraisals

Best practice for appraisals is given by the 4 Fs:

 Firm – managers should be willing to discuss negative as well as favourable
aspects of performance

 Factual – subjective aspects of performance should be avoided

 Fair – all employees should be treated the same

 Frequent – appraisals should be held on a regular basis rather than just when a
problem arises
