Appraisals

The employee performance review as we traditionally know it is often seen as a painful process for everyone involved.  

Typically, it happens once annually, and employees are given high-level, general feedback on how they’ve performed over the course of the calendar year. It was designed to rank employees and weed out low performers. 

It became a time-consuming exercise that worked for the company (or so they thought) but didn’t motivate, inspire or improve the performance of individuals. It didn’t work.  

Today, the new generation of workers prefers a much different system for receiving feedback in the workplace. A whopping 89 percent of employees surveyed by Accenture believe job performance would significantly improve if performance management were changed.
