Few human resource systems consume as much time and energy as performance management and appraisal. Despite all the effort, performance management is too often viewed as a burdensome annual administrative activity with limited tangible benefit to employees, their managers or the organization. Process improvement typically focuses on efficiency - streamlining - rather than effectiveness - process design, which produces the real return - enhanced business performance.
