Managers who won't document performance issues? I'd fix that issue first. But I don't see how that's a good reason to keep in place a tool that just doesn't work. What benefit do you feel comes from an annual performance appraisal that wouldn't come from a more regular, less formal conversation? Thanks for the comment, and cool site.

I don't think abolishing the Evaluation is the right answer. I do think we, as HR professionals, need to find the right way to train managers and supervisors on how to do an evaluation correctly. We should model the right way; we should coach and counsel. But eliminate? Nah...call me a traditionalist :) OMG – I can’t get a manager to document a performance failure – how am I going to get them to a) talk to their employee and b) document what they spoke about and c) on a daily basis?
