There has been much written lately concerning the value that performance management brings to an organization; some headlines have even gone so far as to state, “Down with employee reviews; they don’t add value.” Going beyond the headline though, the story consistently emphasizes the importance of setting expectations, measuring results and providing constructive developmental feedback.

This report presents the results of the WorldatWork/ Sibson 2010 Study on The State of Performance Management, which indicate mixed reviews concerning the state of performance management. While organizations still consider performance management as a means to achieve business objectives and differentiate high performers from

low performers, there seem to be many challenges that impede an organization’s ability to achieve effective performance management.
