We're looking at a recent spate of studies showing performance management reviews are ticking top talent off and why that's the case. For instance, a recent Deloitte's 2025 insights study showed two-thirds (64%) of workers view performance reviews as "a complete waste of time that doesn't help them perform better." We're looking at the issue from both sides and want to paint a fair picture of performance management review strategies and why do many staffers don't like them. We also want to gauge the risk of star staffers leaving because of PMR's (that's what we're hearing). We need these queries answered for the story. 1. What is performance management and how is it used in employee reviews? What data or trends do they pick up that other performance management techniques don't? 2. How effective have PMRs been in recent years? What's your opinion of them and why? 3. Why do so many employees dislike performance management metric review strategies? Do they have a point? Why or why not? 4. Is there a risk that overdoing performance on the job could lead to start employees leaving the companies that need them? 5. What's the way forward for senior execs who want to have a good evaluation of employees but want to conduct performance reviews in a fair way for both sides? 6. Any specific tips on providing good performance reviews? Which work best and why?
