Predictions on Performance Management Trends in 2019

Performance management has been changing over these years from traditional annual reviews to periodic and continuous feedback. We, being a software tool provider, are able to experience the changes in customer (managers, HR and employees) expectations on their performance management software. Initially, it was mere, year-end review automation to categorize the employees into various ratings; then organizations started moving away from bell curves, ratings and showing interest on goals and achievement. Now more focus is shown on quarterly and monthly reviews before the annual appraisals are conducted. It is fact that highly engaged employees will perform better; feedback and developmental inputs will help employees work better and be more productive than mere rating them on their skills and categorizing.
