You know you should have regular performance discussions with your employees… but you hate them. You aren’t alone – many employers hate them. Employees hate them too!  And for good reason.  Numerous studies have shown that traditional performance appraisal systems do not do what they are intended to do. Employees do not feel recognized for their contributions and have no idea how to improve their performance.

 

Often the issue is that employers have no idea how to say what needs to be said, and might even be concerned about creating some kind of liability. Some just want to be nice or avoid a confrontation. Too many spend countless hours trying to do this right. Combine that with the employees’ perceptions about how ineffectively it works, and you have to question if traditional performance appraisal systems aren’t what really need improvement.
