Ditching the Dread: Why Eliminating Performance Reviews Can Benefit Companies and Employees

I believe it’s time for companies to say goodbye to annual performance reviews for individuals. What a strong statement! So, let me share my thoughts and opinions — Disclaimer: not of my employer’s :) — on why companies should eliminate performance reviews for individual contributors. <h1>The Purpose of Annual Performance Reviews</h1> Annual performance reviews are a widely-used method for evaluating an employee’s performance and determining their potential for advancement within a company. The process of an annual performance review usually goes like this in companies: <ul> <li>The Human Resources (HR) team and senior executives provide targets and resources needed to conduct performance reviews.</li> <li>Managers across all levels gather data to measure their direct report’s performance against those targets, write their assessments with improvement actions, and enter that information in any systems used by the company.</li> <li>Multiple meetings will follow, reviewing the output that the managers produced. There will then be back-office operational tasks for the HR team.</li> <li>Finally, their managers will hold a one-on-one meeting with each team member to have their annual performance review conversation.</li> </ul> The core purpose of annual performance reviews is to improve employee motivation and engagement by providing individuals with feedback and recognition. The goal is to lead them to higher productivity and, ultimately, boost the success and growth of the company. <a href="https://betterprogramming.pub/ditching-the-dread-why-eliminating-performance-reviews-can-benefit-companies-and-employees-5e9a19184268">Visit Now</a>
