Subjectivity and Bias*: Traditional methods like ranking and confidential reports are often highly subjective, relying on the individual judgment of the appraiser. This can lead to personal biase

Here are two limitations of the current appraisal system:

• Subjectivity and Bias: Traditional methods like ranking and confidential reports are often highly subjective, relying on the individual judgment of the appraiser. This can lead to personal biases, favoritism, or halo/horn effects influencing the appraisal, making the process unfair and failing to accurately reflect an employee's true contributions, as the employees complain.
• Lack of Transparency and Feedback: Confidential reports, by definition, are not typically shared with employees. This lack of transparency means employees do not understand the criteria used for evaluation or how their performance is being assessed. Without clear feedback, employees cannot identify areas for improvement or challenge perceived inaccuracies, leading to dissatisfaction and a feeling that their contributions are not recognized.
