Ten Stupid Things Managers Do To Screw Up Performance Appraisal
(This article is based on the book: Performance Management - Why
Doesn't It Work, and the McGraw-Hill book entitled Performance
Management released in October, 1998. Copyright 1998 Robert Bacal.
This article may not be reproduced without permission.)

Performance appraisals aren't fun. But a lot of the time they are
agonizing because managers do really dumb things, ending up
destroying a process that is important to everyone (or should be).

Stupid Thing #1: Spending more time on performance appraisal than
performance PLANNING, or ongoing performance communication.
Performance appraisal is the end of a process that goes on all the
time - a process that is based on good communication between manager
and employee. So, more time should be spent preventing performance
problems than evaluating at the end of the year. When managers do
good things during the year, the appraisal is easy to do and
comfortable, because there won't be any surprises.

Stupid Thing #2: Comparing employees with each other.
Want to create bad feelings, damage morale, get staff to compete so
badly they will not work as a team? Then rank staff or compare staff.
A guaranteed technique. And heck, not only can a manager create
friction among staff, but the manager can become a great target for
that hostility too. A bonus!

Stupid Thing #3: Forgetting appraisal is about improvement, not blame.
We do appraisal to improve performance, not find a donkey to pin a
tail on or blame. Managers who forget this end up developing staff
who don't trust them, or even can't stand them. That's because the
blaming process if pointless, and doesn't help anyone. If there is to
be a point to performance appraisal it should be getting manager and
employee working together to have everyone get better.

Stupid Thing #4: Thinking a rating form is an objective, impartial
tool.
Many companies use rating forms to evaluate employees (you know, the
1-5 ratings?). They do that because it's faster than doing it right.
The problem comes when managers believe that those ratings are in
some way "real", or anything but subjective, often vague judgements
that are bound to be subjective and inaccurate. By the way, if you
have two people rate the same employee, the chances of them agreeing
are very small. THAT'S subjective. Say it to yourself over and over.
Ratings are subjective. Rating forms are subjective. Rating forms are
not behavioral.

Stupid Thing #5: Stopping performance appraisal when a person's
salary is no longer tied to the appraisals.
Lots of managers do this. They conduct appraisals so long as they
have to do so to justify or withhold a pay increase. When staff hit
their salary ceiling, or pay is not connected to appraisal and
performance, managers don't bother. Dumb. Performance appraisal is
FOR improving performance. It isn't just about pay (although some
think it is ONLY about pay). If nothing else, everyone needs feedback
on their jobs, whether there is money involved or not.

Stupid Thing #6: Believing they are in position to accurately assess
staff.
Managers delude themselves into believing they can assess staff
performance, even if they hardly ever see their staff actually doing
their jobs, or the results of their jobs). Not possible. Most
managers aren't in a position to monitor staff consistently enough to
be able to assess well. And, besides what manager wants to do that or
has the time. And, what employee wants their manager perched,
watching their every mood. That's why appraisal is a partnership
between employee and manager.

Stupid Thing #7: Cancelling or postponing appraisal meetings.
Happens a whole lot. I guess because nobody likes to do them, so
managers will postpone them at the drop of a hat. Why is this bad? It
says to employees that the process is unimportant or phony. If
managers aren't willing to commit to the process, then they shouldn't
do it at all. Employees are too smart not to notice the low priority
placed on appraisals.
Stupid Thing #8: Measuring or appraising the trivial.
Fact of life: The easiest things to measure or evaluate are the least
important things with respect to doing a job. Managers are quick to
define customer service as "answering the phone within three rings",
or some such thing. That's easy to measure if you want to. What's NOT
easy to measure is the overall quality of service that will get and
keep customers. Measuring overall customer service is hard, so many
managers don't do it. But they will measure the trivial.

Stupid Thing #9: Surprising employees during appraisal.
Want to really waste your time and create bad performance? This is a
guaranteed technique. Don't talk to staff during the year. When they
mess up, don't deal with it at the time but SAVE it up. Then, at the
appraisal meeting, truck out everything saved up in the bank and dump
it in the employee's lap. That'll show 'em who is boss!

Stupid Thing #10: Thinking all employees and all jobs should be
assessed in exactly the same way using the same procedures.
Do all employees need the same things to improve their performance?
Of course not. Some need specific feedback. Some don't. Some need
more communication than others. And of course jobs are all different
Do you think we can evaluate the CEO of Ford using the same approach
as we use for the person who cleans the factory floor? Of course not.
So, why do managers insist on evaluating the receptionist using the
same tools and criteria as the civil engineers in the office?

It's dumb. One size does not fit all. Actually why do managers do
this? Mostly because the personnel or human resource office leans on
them to do so. It's almost understandable, but that doesn't make it
any less dumb.

Performance appraisal basically diadakan untuk mengevaluasi dan
meningkatkan performance karyawan (development). PA juga berhubungan
dengan pembentukan behavior karyawan dan pemberian rewards. Salah
satu kegagalan implementasi PA adalah kurang komunikasi dan
pengertian dari karyawan (qualified appraisers) perihal PA tersebut.
Oleh karenanya saya sarankan HR harus dapat mengkomunikasikan secara
baik tujuan dan cara melakukan appraisal kepada karyawannya.
> Di samping itu, approach dalam PA harus didesain sebaik mungkin
berdasarkan objective dari pekerjaan tersebut (job-related). Result
yang jelas dan terukur dapat membantu HR dalam menilai apakah PA
sudah berjalan dengan baik sehingga hasil dari PA tersebut lebih
reliable. Semoga membantu.

terdapat bagian Unsur2 managerial dan unsur2 umum yang cara
penilainnya adalah menggunakan skala yang diisi sendiri oleh
karayawan ybs dgn pimpinan unitnya, sehingga cenderung subjektif.
Sebagai HR, bgmn cara mereview PA tersebut mjd lebih objektif?
