re: Do we really need Performance Appraisals?

Hi,

I read this and agree with pretty much everything said, but feel there is something missing. Why do any of this at all? I guess the answer always bubbles up to 'to enhance the performance of the company' - or words to that effect. Cut it any which way you like, that's the high level motivator for any company.

You note in your post some of the other reasons, the 'how' and the pitfalls of running the process.

I formed a company called Cogendo which created a product called PerformanceHub to try and address all these points. The company was born out of frustration more than anything else - we knew performance management was key to success, but it was all too often seen as a bind. PerformanceHub tries to address this by putting the system online, keeping objectives current, reducing admin and increasing focus.
