What do you think of peer evaluations at work?

I agree with you. When I mentioned that management should "cover all bases", it definitely includes the nature of relationships and level of respect people have for each other in the organization. Thus, management must also be very familiar with, and aware of, the prevaling "atmosphere" at the workplace. I think all the more that these exercises need to be very focused and defined to that it doesn't turn into a virtual "free-for-all". Thanks for your comments!

Hi! It was kind of strange in the beginning, but once the staff internalized this process, it becomes easier and really yields useful feedback. However, it must have a clear focus on specific aspects of work on which teamwork or cooperation has significant bearing. It also takes strong leadership on the part of management; otherwise, as earlier commented, it can turn into a "disaster". Again, it is tricky, and needs open minds. Thanks for the response!
