Some experts believe that employee performance evaluations are subjective and ineffective, but others believe that they can serve to improve the productivity of employees.

Ans1. Indeed, in the process of performance evaluation there are areas that I think biases automatically creeps in, especially on the part of the supervisor and manager who will be filling out the evaluation form for their reports or subordinates. This is because most of the performance evaluation form poses very broad questions about their employees. For instance, "Elaborate the ways the employee's performance met the expectations" or what are their significant accomplishments corresponding a blank space or open box that manager can fill with the assessments, suggestion and criticisms. The biases becomes part of this process since there is ambiguity by design.
