The Process Of Performance Appraisal - And the Debate

Where do you stand on the performance appraisal debate? Some say it's just too hard to do well and, when not done well, it does more harm than good. Others say it's essential and we just have to get better at it. What do you think? I'm genuinely interested!!

Many companies still do them though so I was curious and reached out to Sue Ingram of Converse Well to talk about it. She is certainly a wonderful person to talk to! I'd recommend her anytime for a conversation.

She also knows a lot about HR including performance appraisals. Some of the tidbits from our conversation:

🔍 You have to train for HONEST conversations between managers and employees.

💰 Some organizations don't expressly link compensation to the performance appraisal, but since both the appraisal and compensation require judgment... Sue says they're linked regardless.

🎯 You have to measure the right things
