Scenario: You are the Human Resources Specialist whose function
within the company is to design and conduct performance appraisals of the
different employees. However, recently, there has been concern that the
appraisals being conducted are not a true objective measure of the employee,
and as such, bonus determination is being adversely affected on some of the
employees.

Appraisals of an
employees’ job performance are used to provide feedback to the employee as to
how well or poorly they are conducting their job requirements. Sometimes,
appraisals can be used to determine if the person in the position is properly
qualified to complete the tasks and assignments of the position.

Research 2 to 3 Fortune
500 companies and their performance appraisal policies:

1. Identify at least 2
   different types of evaluation techniques utilized by companies and
   identify the purpose of or measure of each technique.
2. Describe whether the
   techniques identified measure employee performance in a subjective
   manner, and if not, why you have come to that conclusion.
