Appraisals

November 15 2023

Groan! It’s that time of year again. Appraisal time.

Never fear. Here is your quick guide to what it really entails.

Into which of the following categories do you, your colleagues, those reporting to you and your managers fall?

The Owl: both intelligent and ethical.

The Fox: intelligent and unethical

The Sheep: unintelligent but ethical

The Donkey: both unintelligent and unethical

And don’t worry if you have too many Foxes or Donkeys on board.

Remember “A workforce can only be regarded as sufficiently diverse if a significant proportion is unsuitable for their job.”
