1) Schedule a mutually convenient time and place for the performance appraisal discussion.
2) Allow enough time and ensure privacy.
3) Explain that you would like the discussion to be a dialogue, with inputs from both of you included in the final written document.
4) Give the employee some options about how to prepare for the discussion.
5) Choose the right appraisal tool
6) Train supervisors to eliminate rating errors.
7) Make sure the performance standards are prescribed to all managers and employees.
8) Employ subjective supervisory ratings as only one component of the overall appraisal process.
9) Train supervisors to use the rating instrument properly.
