Auckland, New Zealand 29 April 2010 — While bloggers debate the latest call to abolish performance reviews, Sonar6 has launched the first in its new series of color papers on the need to approach performance management in a new, and useful, way. The company argues that performance reviews are still necessary in all organizations, and the “Why Performance Management Has to Change” color paper series both addresses the shortcomings of traditional performance management and presents ways to improve the process.
The first color paper, “I Met Expectations” introduces the five key reasons behind ineffective performance management:
1. Performance reviews are demotivating
2. Performance reviews aren’t useful
3. Performance reviews create bad managers
4. Performance reviews ignore team dynamics
5. Performance reviews remove information from the organization
The color paper has been distributed to Sonar6 email subscribers and is available online and for download from the Sonar6 website.
Sonar6 is also offering a free 30 day trial of its performance management software, incorporating Quick Start set up, the Bendelta Competency Library and Sonar6 360°. To start your trial today, visit www.sonar6.com.
