Successful Appraisals Require • Knowledgeable raters who have directly observed the employee’s work performance or work product and... • Who can rate without error or bias... • Using valid and reliable quantitative and qualitative performance measures.
Documenting Non-Performance • First and foremost, DO IT! • Record the relevant facts. • Tell both sides. • Give all the details – who, what, when, where and why. • Review and follow PHA policy and practices. USE THE FORMS.
