This document discusses problems with traditional performance management and proposes an alternative approach. It notes that 58% of organizations rate their performance management as a C or below. Only 8% report high value from performance programs and only 6% find them an effective use of time. It suggests understanding goals, helping employees discover how to achieve goals, developing needed competencies, and equipping managers to have positive conversations. In contrast to just measuring performance, the alternative focuses on managing the process of completing incentivized goals and providing corrective feedback effectively to improve performance, which 92% of employees agree is effective if delivered correctly.
