Which of the following is a recognised benefit of preparing for an appraisal interview by asking the employee to complete a self-appraisal beforehand?

A self-appraisal encourages the employee to reflect on their own performance and provides a starting point for two-way discussion in the interview. It does not remove the manager's need for evidence, and it cannot guarantee that both parties will agree on the final rating.

  2. BIt encourages the employee to reflect on performance and gives a basis for two-way discussionCorrect
  3. CIt guarantees that the manager and employee will agree on the final rating

Self-appraisal prompts reflection and gives the employee a voice, which supports a two-way discussion. The manager still needs evidence, and agreement is never guaranteed.
