Is It Fair to Be Put on a Performance Improvement Plan Due to False Appraisal Ratings?

If there is a false rating on a performance appraisal, for those who perform well but are falsely categorized under the "Needs Improvement" plan, is it fair to be put on a Performance Improvement Plan?

The problem stated here is that the person is falsely placed under the performance improvement plan, but he doesn't suffer from poor performance. Therefore, action should be taken to make the performance management error-free and ensure that employees are properly appraised and categorized.

Let's explore the consequences the person will face if he is falsely accused:
1. His morale will reduce.
2. He will feel that his performance is not recognized.
3. He will be negatively reinforced.
4. Finally, his productivity will decrease.

The chances are rare that he will take it in a positive manner if he is put under the performance improvement plan.

I hope I provided a helpful response.

Hi,

Refer to the planned goals and evaluate each goal using the formula for each related Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to calculate the achievement. If there is a behavioral competency profile, utilize it to assess the foundational skills and competencies. Utilize suitable weights for each goal and other weights to ensure a total of 100%, consisting of both the Goals & Competencies.
