Cognitive bias
It is a misinterpretation of information, as a consequence of our beliefs and perceptions. Biases act as a mould for our thoughts, conditioning our decision-making and judgments.
Also, biases go with us to our workplaces and to the Human Resources area. For this reason, we share a blog article where we talk in detail about Bias in Performance Appraisal.
In addition, we delve into other definitions of Bias: Central Tendency, Similarity, Memory, Confirmation, Escalation of Commitment and Gender.
We give you the keys that can affect your rational judgment so that you can participate in a performance assessment process without falling into possible cognitive biases. You will help your collaborators to develop their talent by providing an objective and constructive vision.
Nowadays, with the available technologies, carrying out performance appraisal processes is very simple. But to carry it out effectively, we must reflect on a series of errors into which we can sometimes fall and we must become aware of them in order to avoid them and make our initiative a success!
