• Poorly designed and implemented performance management systems can have disastrous consequences
for all involved. For example, employees may quit, those who stay may be less motivated, and
relationships (e.g.,supervisor-subordinate) can suffer irreparable damaged. Also, poorly designed systems can be
biased, resulting in costly lawsuits and wasted time and resources. In the end, low-quality or poorly implemented
systems can be a source of enormous frustration and cynicism for all involved.
