Critically analyze the traditional methods of performance appraisal.

 The traditional methods of performance appraisal:-

Generally, traditional methods of performance appraisal focus on employees’ ability to take initiatives, leverage resources, and perform tasks with innovation and creativity. Moreover, employees are also evaluated based on their leadership qualities, interpersonal skills, intelligence, and integrity.

Let’s take a deeper dive into all of them: 

1 Rating Scales Method

It is a well-known traditional method of performance appraisal. As the name suggests, this performance appraisal method involves the use of a rating scale that spans from 1 to 10. In this performance appraisal method, employees’ performance is measured against several factors including their attitude, timeliness, efficiency, and interpersonal skills. 

For example, If an employee gets a low rating then it means they have received negative feedback, if the scale rating is high let’s say 9 or 10, then the employee has done exceptionally well. 

 Useful For:  

The rating scale is an effective appraisal method for assessing unique traits and behaviours within your workforce.

 Pros: 

Helps in assessing employee attributes and how they relate to their current role.

They are structured and standardized in nature.

Useful for comparing employees against one another.

Helps assess salary adjustments.

Useful in considering candidates for promotion.

 Cons: 

Responses are open to interpretation.

The final rating can be deceiving.

Average results can be difficult to interpret.

Recent events can influence answers.

 Tips To Implement: 

Attempt to be as objective as possible when posing your questions. 

Avoid asking subjective questions.

Clearly establish criteria and expected outcomes.

Limit your questions to those that are behavioural in nature.

 Interesting Fact: 

Rating scales were first introduced in the year 1910 and by 1920, the rating scale method was introduced by the Scott Company. 

2 Checklist Method

The Checklist method is one of the easiest traditional performance appraisal methods. Under this traditional method of performance appraisal, HR prepares a checklist and forwards it to the manager. The checklist may include a list of questions (depicting behaviour and job performance of employees), and the manager has to answer them in just ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ form.
