The company’s current performance appraisal system spreads gender bias, hindering
women's professional development and failing to connect individual performance with company
objectives effectively. As a result, there are unequal opportunities for career advancement,
underutilization of female talent, and potential legal ramifications that the company needs to
address. The disparity in quality feedback leads to an overall reduction in organizational
performance and the risk of losing valuable employees. Various strategies can be implemented
to enhance the feedback process and ensure that individual goals align with company objectives.
The strategies encompass creating a standardized feedback template that encompasses critical
areas for improvement, offering in-depth manager training on recognizing and addressing bias as
well as utilizing effective feedback methods, setting clear performance metrics for evaluation,
conducting regular check-ins to track progress, and embracing a balanced scoreboard approach
to measure overall performance across different aspects of the business.
The most effective approach for performance appraisal involves combining management
by objectives (MBO) with Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS). MBO emphasizes
setting clear and measurable goals that align with the company’s objectives, while BARS
provides specific behavioral examples for each level of performance. By integrating these two
