Why Performance Appraisals Fail

Unfortunately, the reality is that despite investing time and money into these systems, most organisations only see minimum returns and in many cases, no results at all. And so there is a growing call to stop appraisals. 

But why do we think appraisals, or reviews, are not working? Is it because there is no real commitment from the management, as shown in the way our CEO has never done a performance contract or a single review with any of the management team, communicating to the EXCO that they can also omit this step with their own reports?
