Better appraisals might raise your teams’ performance
Posted by Grant Brewer
I recently completed a performance review cycle and was left thinking about how much room for improvement there is in the processes we commonly follow in organisations when we try to evaluate people's performance, yet how important the results are to those being reviewed. Almost every organisation has performance reviews and their lack of success and lack of popularity is almost as universal.
Performance management seems to suffer from too much process. It is common to see organisations start off with a good process through which they manage the performance of employees and teams. It is also common to see those previously effective processes become increasingly bureaucratic and ineffective over time.
However, having no process at all might not be the best option either. With no process at all, you risk running into inconsistency and possible unfairness. Since as a leader it is your responsibility to establish a basis for selecting, developing and directing people in your organisation - the so called "talent" that became such a common way to describe people during the internet-era in the late nineties.
