Overview:
For most organizations, performance reviews are used to support decisions related to
training and career development, compensation, transfers, promotions, and reductions-
in-force or employment termination. Generally, the performance review process
includes setting clear and specific performance expectations for each employee and

to those stated goals. This assignment explores the possible bias on the Performance
Management process.
Instructions:
