Contrast This occurs when the manager compares an employees performance to other
employees instead of the company standard. When employees are ranked in comparison,
someone must end up at the bottom, even if they are exceeding the company standard.
The problem isnt the employee its the goal or standard that has been set.
Halo An employee is rated highly in all areas because of one thing they do really well.
Ive seen this happen with sales people. She hits the numbers and senior leadership loves
it. But behind the scenes, she creates havoc and doesnt have the respect of her coworkers.
Horn On the flip side, an employee is rated as a poor performer because of one thing
they dont do well. For example, the administrative assistant who is great at everything
but filing. It piles up because he puts it off resulting in the company hiring a temp to get
the filing caught up. In all other areas, hes a rock star.
If youre looking for some resources to help managers better understand these biases, I found a
good book during the SHRM Annual Conference. The First-Time Managers Guide to
Performance Appraisals by Diane Arthur goes into biases and much more. This book would be
very handy for organizations that dont need a full-blown performance appraisal training session
maybe because the company has just a handful of managers who give appraisals or only a
couple managers need a refresher.
Id also suggest pairing it with the book 2600 Phrases for Effective Performance Reviews by
Paul Falcone. I know, I know, some people are anti-phrases books but for managers who are
looking for creative inspiration when it comes to writing about employee performance, its
helpful. Even for managers with solid writing skills, its not easy to find the right words when an
employee needs to improve their performance.
One thing I found useful in the 2600 Phrases book were the phrases for meeting/exceeding
expectations. As a HR pro, Ive often had to work with managers to make sure when an
employees performance was being reflected as either meeting or exceeding expectations; it was
truly expressed in the proper area. You know, meeting the standard isnt misinterpreted as
exceeding the standard.
The more resources we provide to managers, the more comfortable they will get at discussing
performance. This only benefits employees and the company.

5.Ranking Method
The ranking system requires the rater to rank his
subordinates on overall performance. This consists in
simply putting a man in a rank order. Under this method,
the ranking of an employee in a work group is done
against that of another employee. The relative position of
each employee is tested in terms of his numerical rank. It
may also be done by ranking a person on his job
performance against another member of the competitive
group.
Advantages of Ranking Method
Employees are ranked according to their
performance levels.
It is easier to rank the best and the worst
employee.
Limitations of Ranking Method
The whole man is compared with another
whole man in this method. In practice, it is very difficult
to compare individuals possessing various individual
traits.
This method speaks only of the position where an
