When there is a reason to suspect rater bias, when some raters appear to be using high standards than others or when comparability of ratings is essential, essay or graphic are often combined with a systematic review process. The field review is one of several techniques for doing this.
A member of the personnel or central administrative staff meets with small groups of raters from each supervisory unit and goes over each employers rating with them to
(a) identify areas of inter-rater disagreement,
(b) help the group arrive at a consensus and
(c) determine that each rater conceives the standard similarly.
This group judgment technique tends to be more fair and more valid than individual ratings and permits the central staff to develop an awareness of the varying degrees of leniency or severity, as well as bias, exhibited by raters in different departments. On the negative side, the process is very time consuming.
