Out of three methods they tested, they found that two of them, “structured free recall (SFR)” and “source-monitoring (SM)”, were the most effective in reducing gender stereotypes within the workplace and improved the advancement and success of women in the environments in which they were used. SFR training is a process that requires managers to evaluate their employees based on certain specific occurrences they have seen in the workplace (Anderson et al. 525). To conduct this SFR accurately and fairly, managers should dedicate an equal amount of time focusing on positive traits and negative traits (Anderson et al. 525). The resulting evaluation is generally a more accurate representation of the employee because the process forces opinions to be based on the conscious thought versus the unconscious and more likely judgmental thought (Anderson et al. 525). Implementing this kind strategy into the evaluation process of a company can lead to more truthful evaluations and better performance levels of individuals because there is more motivation to perform better if they know it will be annotated more
