Lunch at the Compensation Café: Performance Management Myths

Topics

Human Resources

Compensation

HR Management

Performance Management

Talent Management

This event took place on Oct. 18, 2011

Thank you for your patience.

A recording of this event will be available shortly.

Highlights

Performance management is under fire from all directions, with many “experts” even demanding that we abandon the process entirely. Are performance appraisals still relevant in today’s world of work? And, if so, why do they fail to produce the results they should? The Compensation Café team and noted performance management expert Dick Grote, President of Grote Consulting and author of the new book How to be Good at Performance Appraisals (Harvard Business Review Press) offer a caffeinated conversation about this important topic.

Participants learned:

The case for performance management – and honest performance appraisals.
The truth about some of the common myths that trip us up in performance management, including: the myth of performance predictability, the myth of quantifiability and the myth of the feedback sandwich.
