Performance management—or the abandonment of it—is a hot topic. We just launched the results of a new High-Impact Performance Management study—the results of surveying over 1,000 organizations globally, across all industries, geographies, and sizes. Many organizations feel old-fashioned and left behind in their approaches to performance management, apologizing if they have not evolved from traditional ratings or performance reviews. Yet organizations still need to make people-related decisions, and individuals need fact-based input to understand current performance and gauge development opportunities. The absence of relevant data often creates a vacuum, leaving individuals confused and organizations open to bias, subjectivity, and misinterpretation. We delved deeper into this topic in our High-Impact Performance Management study.
