Performance appraisals are frequently attacked - and defended. I'm curious about what people see as the benefits of performance appraisals. Anyone care to...
The best reason I can think of for requiring a performance appraisal is to get managers to discuss performance with employees. However, I think this is not...
Fred: I only see 2, theoretically valuable, points. A. It should cause the manager to actually discuss performance with the employee. B. It should cause the...

One thing I have found about performance appraisals is this. If the employee is surprised by his or her appraisal, the manager is not managing properly. ...
Gee, Sherryl, how do you really feel? :-) Seriously, if they're simply "better than nothing" what else might take their place and be a whole lot better than...
Actually, that is exactly the direction we are trying to go, Fred. We just completed a pilot of the SumTotal performance management system and will be rolling...
... Wow Fred. That sounds almost like a unique technique. Maybe we should call it Management By Objectives (MBO for short) or something? Bad Max. Bad Max....

Fred, as a quick second thought on this: monitoring performance against objectives is still limited. We have all sorts of employees who routinely meet or...
... I believe SumTotal published the free "ebook" on Pillars of Performance Management I mentioned last week or so. I was impressed with that. I have not been...
... Ok, obviously a common occurrence. So (and again, I have some self- limitations going on here), what's the root problem? If you identify the reasons why...

Very simple question; does sending out your resume to a lot of companies work when they are not currently looking for someone in that particular line of work?...
The proposal I made had very little to do objectives or MBO. It was tied to the notion of a performance log, kept by the employee and brought to performance...
I think it all has to do with the dimensions you load into the performance log employees might keep. Performance against objectives is one dimension; quality...
No it does not. You need to make your potential to add value to their organization very clear. You cannot if you have not really researched the organization...

I am sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. I was referring to sending a resume out to companies after doing research on them and so forth. ...
Doing performance management once a year is like doing your vehicle maintenance once a year. Don't be surprized when you find problems on that one day! ...
David muddies the waters with: That is why what we call a "Y" structure is so important. Some people are good managers and some are not. Some of those who...
The "Y" structure might be the same reasoning that is behind the split the Army made many years ago between regular non-com ranks and specialist ranks. They...
There's been some great discussion on this topic. And I'll apologize ahead of time for my very lengthy post. We just revamped our appraisal process the...
We have interviewed people who emailed in their resume. This has happened even when we didn't have a job listing posted. I think this works better for people...
I agree with Paul. Also I think rather than sending complete profiles, candidates can just mirror their particular skills/areas of interest. Neetu _____ From:...
I think that sending an unsolicited resume can have an advantage if you know something about the company or have reason to believe that there may be an opening...
In my limited opinion, I think it would give a candidate an edge if he or she would keep in contact in a timely fashion in order to keep them fresh in the...
Garry: I have been doing a little slacking, and a lot of thinking about our conversations over the last few weeks. In one of your posts to me you said: "I hear...
