In the United States, the State Department ordered several managers of state employees to modify performance evaluations that had already been formally submitted.
The federal government is pushing an internal recalibration process to reduce the number of employees with high performance scores because of a supposed inflation of good ratings.
Several officials and supervisors were already forced to lower ratings that had been approved and, in some cases, rewrite full reports.
The United States will reject the most important work document: Who is affected?
The measure promoted by the United States mainly affects workers whose scores were too high considering the new internal criteria promoted by the government.
According to specialized media, such as Federal News Network, some supervisors had to modify the same reports several times until they matched the new federal requirements.
Those who do not pass this new mandatory review and will have to submit it again: What is the correct way?
The new system of recalibration requires limiting the number of employees who receive high performance ratings. According to these new conditions, workers whose reports were too positive will have to resubmit the evaluations with the mandatory modifications.
The review is also linked to a broader reform promoted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The goal is to tighten evaluation criteria within the federal government to prevent a supposed inflation of high ratings among public employees.
What happens if they do not submit it again?
Work evaluations within the federal system have a direct impact on several aspects of an employee’s professional career. For this reason, a report with lower scores may affect future promotions, performance bonuses, and even job stability.
In this sense, different sectors expressed concern about this new measure and its effects on job performance: some employees believe the recalibration could hurt workers with good performance and pressure managers to lower ratings.
For the moment, no sanction was reported for not resubmitting these documents.
