Respond to Katy Hello class, A potential impact of rater error on worker performance is demotivation. If employees are not fairly rated for their performance, they will not see a purpose to improve or even want to stay with the company. An individual should be assessed on their performance to the job or company standards. If a rater error happens regarding an employee being rated due to how the other employees are performing and not to the established standard, this is a contrast error and is not fair to the individual. Although the employee may be performing as he or she should, they are treated as though they aren't. (YouTube, 2024). A potential impact of rater error on organizational performance is a high turnover rate. Employees who feel they aren't being rated appropriately will not trust the company. The video states, "low motivation can spread. It's contagious." (4 Ways to Motivate Your Team, 2019). If one employee is impacted by rater error, others may also be. This will affect the organization and possibly even future hires. Quality candidates may look elsewhere for employment if a company has a reputation for rater error. Two remedies to reduce appraisal rate errors are frequent calibration meetings with open communication and proper management training. Calibration meetings will allow the supervisor and employee to go over the numbers and stats and explain the wins and opportunities available. This will prepare the employee for a proper and fair evaluation. Management needs to be trained to avoid rater errors. Sometimes, managers commit rater errors and are not aware of them. E-learning and in-class training with role-playing situations can help managers understand things they must avoid
