Assignment Task: As your company's HR professional, you have completed a review of the employees' performance appraisal feedback they have received. You have discovered that there are differences in the type of feedback that men and women receive. Positive feedback for men most often cited specific goals that were met and technical skills for development, whereas feedback for women was in general terms; for example, "good job this year." Feedback for women often was about a need to improve communication style. This makes it more difficult for women to apply feedback and positively contribute to the company's performance goals. Since men received specific suggestions, they could more easily identify assignments and opportunities for promotions.
Q1. How the current performance appraisal system impacts the company.
Q2. How can the company help managers give feedback that links the goals of the company to the individual's goals?
Q3. What type of performance appraisal approach would best fit with providing specific, actionable feedback? Why?
