How is the annual performance review viewed in your organisation?
A: It is a strategic imperative
B: Taken seriously but can be “de-prioritised”
C: It’s a painful tick box exercise
D: Non existent
Why is it so painful?
• Backward looking• A snapshot in time• Nothing results from it• People go through the motions• People comply rather than see it as valuable• Doesn’t promote ownership
The focus is all wrongWe need to focus on Performance Achievement not
Performance Review

‘Engagement is now an accepted leading indicator of next year’s financial results’
Human Capital Institute; 2010
We have to speak their language

ProductivityInternational Gallup survey showed that individuals with the highest engagement scores averaged 18% higher productivity than those in the bottom quartile.
Safety Levels of employee engagement directly correlate with absenteeism and patient mortality in the NHS
Absenteeism & RetentionHay found companies with high levels of engagement show turnover rates 40% lower than companies with low levels of engagement.

Practical take aways!• Replace performance review with performance achievement make it
future focused and all year round• Gain sponsorship for HRM – link it to organisational outcomes• Motivate good management practice - make people management
important, set clear expectations and monitor them• Recruit managers with the ‘people gene’ & upskill them• Be a passionate change leader rather than a custodian of process
