Rating Employees is Archaic

NEW RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF REVIEWS

So how's that annual performance evaluation process working for you?

The lengthy, complex, calculated performance evaluation is under attack. Motivated by a desire to simplify overly complex processes and to ensure the annual ritual is meaningful, many organizations are searching for a simpler approach.

In response, Deloitte is leading the charge with a complete overhaul of its performance management process, as described in the April 2015 edition of Harvard Business Review. The new approach focuses on weekly check-in meetings and throws out the five-point scale.

Deloitte is not alone. The latest surveys show that seventy percent of organizations reworked their approach to performance management in 2014 and even more are expected to take on the challenge this year.

If your organization is part of that large group seeking change, here are several factors to consider:
