Performance reviews: A "dysfunctional pretense?"
Discuss workforce management, performance management, retention, communication, motivation, contributing to business results and other topics.
Greetings, I'm working on a story about performance appraisals and their effectiveness and would like to hear your thoughts on the topic. Perhaps some of you have read Samuel Culbert's 2008 WSJ

This thread sure went downhill fast! I don't think the original poster is going to get much to work with here.

She asked about our view of PA effectiveness and the first page has many of our thoughts. *U*

I have never been uncomfortable doing a formal performance review but then again I have always made it clear to my direct reports that they never have to go home at the end of the day wondering where they stand with me. I will always be clear about how I see performance and if things need to be done differently I am not waiting for some best time to mention and certainly would not surprise anyone with something negative in a formal review.

The article proposes what for me is forward thinking and certainly what I was used to in my prior role back in Canada as a VP of major property and casualty insurance company where the CEO with the concurrence of the board would set out what our accomplishments in the time ahead should be for each of the members of the executive. This would be essentially the key priorities in the strategic plan.
