What’s Wrong

With the

Traditional

Performance

Appraisal?

They are a costly exercise

Appraisals can be destructive

Appraisals are often a monologue

rather than a dialogue

The formality of the appraisal

stifles discussion

Appraisals are too infrequent

Appraisals are an exercise

in form-filling

Appraisals are rarely followed up

Most people find appraisals stressful

important than the jobs
