Should We Get Rid of Performance Reviews?
The attached is a very provocative article from the Wall Street Journal, Human Resources, "Get Rid of the Performance Review", on the value (or not!) of performance reviews.
The article presents a point of view from the author, Samuel A. Cuthbert, who has obviously had some bad experiences! He also goes on to present an alternative approach to the traditional performance review.
1. Read the article.
2. Given what you have learned this week about performance review, their function, purpose and value from a legal standpoint: state your opinion on whether or not we should continue to utilize performance reviews in health care.
3. State the reasons for your opinion and share any recommendations you have to either improve reviews or how you would recommend replacing them.
4. Cite at least one additional reference to back up your opinion.
