Are performanxe reviews viable if your company wants to have your employees to cooperate with each other?
Individual performance reviews reduce incentives to cooperate, because you only need to have a good review in comparison, not on some non-existent absolute metric.
- rubidium 4y agoYes they are. In fact, one’s performance objective in many cases depend on effective teamwork with one’s peers. And then there are the behavior part of performance reviews where you’re graded on intangibles like teamwork, trust-building, etc… Performance review systems will always have flaws, but it’s better (in nearly all workplaces) to have a formal and transparent process for them than to have none at all.
- hosh 4y agoI once saw a book written by a former HR manager who states, performance reviews are not really used to get better performance. They are ways for organizations to get documentation to fire you without getting sued for it, if they need it. HR’s job is to protect the company, not to protect the employee.
- hallway_monitor 4y agoYes they're valuable. Working together with your team is a core skill that everyone needs to have to be a professional developer, and as such is a major part of the reviews I do. Any good leader will encourage cooperation over competition.
