I love it when the pace of my life is frantic. Up early, meetings all day, a flood of email, a crisis or two, social media throughout to stay current and share ideas, commuting time runs into hockey practices, kid’s homework, my workout, some family time and then bed. Wake up and go harder the next day. Love it. However…even I realize that pace is not sustainable. Is that healthy? I don’t think so.

Updated post from January 2010 A continuing challenge in teaching human resources is keeping up with the latest trends and laws. The most recent textbook is unlikely to be up-to-date and even some of the most recent research is likely to have some lag time. As a result, I have my students read blog posts (both past and present) by some of the most influential HR practitioners. On Thursday, January 26, for example, they read: Dr. Drewett. “ An Open Letter to the HR World” ([link] Keith Hammonds. Why We Hate HR.” No? ( [link] ) Trish McFarlane.

Recently we wrote about recent activity bias ( recency effect ). This occurs when the reviewer places too much emphasis on what the employee has done of late and fails to account for performance over the entire review period. This is often the result of human nature, but it can be caused by a lack of information or the inability to remember specific actions or events. One aspect of performance management that is critical to helping to offset recent activity bias, but too often overlooked is ongoing documentation of employee performance.
