2. How can ineffective performance
   management programs leave employers vulnerable for claims of discrimination?

   employees contribute to errors and distortion in the appraisal process?
   How would you revise the form or reduce them? Explain other steps that
   need to be taken to further reduce distortions in the process?

critical analysis.
