Answer to #1

Answer: If you need to write a review that includes negative information, keep the following points in mind: Document performance problems. You will need this information in order to write an effective appraisal and to support any decisions about pay, promotions, or termination. Evaluate all employees consistently. Doing so is fair. It also helps protect the company from claims of discriminatory practices. Write in a calm, objective voice. The employee is not likely to welcome your negative assessment, but you can manage the emotions of the situation by maintaining professional reserve in your writing. Focus on opportunities for improvement. This information can serve as the foundation for an improvement plan for the coming year. Keep job descriptions up to date. If a job evolves over time in response to changes in the business, the employees' current activities may no longer match an outdated job description.

Answer to #2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Social networking recommendations are much more flexible than conventional recommendations. When solicited, a recommender may contribute as much or as little as he or she sees fit.

Answer to #3

Answer: E
Explanation: E) To avoid negative surprises, managers should provide regular feedback and coaching as needed throughout the year if employee performance falls below expectations.

Answer to #4

Answer: Performance reviews clarify job requirements, give employees feedback on their performance relative to those requirements, and establish a personal plan of action to ensure continued performance in the future. Performance reviews also help companies set organizational standards and communicate organizational values. In addition, they document evidence of performance in the event that disciplinary action is needed or an employee later disputes management decisions regarding pay or promotions.

Answer to #5

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Consistency is not only fair but also helps protect the company from claims of discriminatory practices.

Answer to #6

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Documenting performance problems will help you write an effective appraisal and support any decisions that you need to make about pay, promotions, or termination.
