Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequent informal feedback to employees can prevent surprises later when the formal evaluation is communicated. This means that informal appraisals can play an important role in providing timely feedback and avoiding any surprises during the formal evaluation process. A and B are incorrect as they create a negative perception of informal appraisals, which can be an effective tool if used properly. C is incorrect as on-the-spot examinations are not typically considered informal appraisals, and privacy issues are not necessarily a concern if the feedback is given constructively and in a respectful manner.
