Advantages and disadvantages of Peer evaluation

Advantages

● It provides a complete picture of employee interactions and also reveals the employee’s strengths and weaknesses.

● It provides a broader range of information about the employee.

● The feedback provided by the peers are easier to relate with, because it helps the employees to understand their shortcomings and enhance their performance.

Disadvantages

● Opinions provided in the reviews may be polarised. Especially in case of departmental loyalty or friendship, it becomes very difficult to judge an employee from the review provided by their colleagues.

● It may lead to overburden of work for the employees and may affect their regular tasks.

● Employees from small communities at work  place especially those from the same team. Asking them to evaluate each other may be uncomfortable.
