BARS

BARS, or Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales, is a performance evaluation tool used to assess behavior and job performance. It combines qualitative and quantitative measures by defining specific behaviors associated with different levels of performance. Instead of using vague rating scales, BARS provides clear examples of what constitutes excellent, satisfactory, or poor performance. This approach helps managers give more consistent and objective feedback, making it easier to understand strengths and areas for improvement. BARS is commonly used in employee assessments, training, and recruitment to ensure transparent and fair evaluations based on observable behaviors.
