Training supervisors to avoid documenting cases where subjective standards were applied unevenly to members of protected groups is not a sufficient step to avoid legal difficulties in performance appraisals. While this may address a potential bias issue, it does not cover all aspects that could lead to legal challenges. It is important to also conduct a job analysis to determine the necessary characteristics for successful job performance, include formal appeal mechanisms, provide performance counseling or corrective guidance, and ensure that appraisals are fair and consistent across all employees.
