Change how workplace performance is reviewed.
One topic that is constantly being discussed in HR departments around the world is how an employee’s performance is reviewed. Previously a performance review was generally graded like it was a test. It was extremely impersonal and other didn’t take into account differences between employees, even if they were performing separate jobs. Many businesses have already taken an important step and removed performance grading and ratings from their reviews, instead relying on comments and discussions, when possible, with employees. Other companies have eliminated performance based bonuses, which can cause dissension in the workplace. Studies have also shown that these monetary rewards do little to improve performance or overall employee morale.
