The purpose of this assignment is to find out which performance appraisal system best fits the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners, Inc (NERB). Cascio (2010), talks about the different performance appraisal systems that will fit any organization today when it comes to employee reviews. According to Casico (2010), there are other different performance appraisal methods. The graphic rating system has been the best fit for NERB.
