Handing out a rating at the end of the annual performance review is a sure fire way to demotivate at least 80% of your workforce. But when we try to get rid of them, we’re often met with a number of concerns about what will happen when they’re gone. In this episode, Lucy is joined by her Disruptive HR co-founder Karen Moran to unpack some of the common misconceptions around the value of ratings and look at why getting rid of them is not as risky as you might think. Whether you’ve been on the receiving end of a disappointing score or forced to defend a ‘meets expectations’ to a furious high performer, this one’s for you.
Lucy and Karen share their own performance review horror stories and get under the skin of why ratings continue to survive, despite being universally hated.
They tackle the four big worries HR teams often have when considering ditching ratings:
- How will we know who our top performers are?
- How can we allocate bonuses fairly?
- How will we know if managers are doing performance management properly?
- And what about dealing with poor performance?
Packed with real-life examples from companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Spotify, this episode will help you challenge the status quo and find better ways to manage performance, without the dreaded annual rating.
