Performance Reviews: Are they driving top talent away?

Imagine your boss only told you how you were doing once or twice a year – it wouldn't help you get better, right?

Many employees feel that way about their performance reviews.

These reviews, meant to help people improve, are seen as unfair, and a waste of time by many top performers.

Some companies use a system where only a few people can get the best scores, which is also seen as unfair.

Experts say these reviews should be about helping people grow and develop, not just a way to judge them.

Companies should consider giving feedback more often, focusing on real results, and making it a partnership, not a test.

The best companies are changing how they do reviews to keep their best employees.
