You own a nonunion company with 93 nonexempt employees. All of these employ- ees pack books into boxes for shipment to customers throughout the United States. Because of wide differences in performance, you have decided to try performance appraisal, something never done before. Until now, you have given every worker the same size increase. Now you want to measure performance and reward the best performers with bigger increases.

Describe that project and identify three performance criteria you think would be appropriate for evaluating the team members. Should every team member be able to rate one another on all these dimensions? Should the team-member ratings be used for feedback only or for feedback and part of the overall grade (with teacher approval, of course)? Should the teacher rate each team member on performance (all three criteria) in the group assignment? How are these questions relevant to setting up a 360° per- formance review? 4.

What things do you hope you did in setting up and administering your systems to counter this discrimination charge?
