Performance reviews are dead, or so we have been told. The data shows a shrinking support for the traditional method: only 15% of companies have not adjusted their annual performance management process and do not plan to.

High-performing companies, those with increases in revenue, retention, and engagement, are more likely to prioritize multiple goal-setting and review

Imagine that you were going to an optometrist and you weren’t able to tell them when the lens they applied worked best – do you think they would be able to write a prescription that would actually work well for you? During your visit to an optometrist’s office you will normally get asked, “can you see it now…. how about now,” by doing this, they are changing lenses to better understand your vision needs, but in order to do this they need to know what isn’t working.
