Podcast: Overhauling Performance Reviews

Compensation and benefits go hand-in-hand with talent management and performance reviews. Finding a way to accurately measure performance, give meaningful feedback and compensate accordingly can collectively have a positive impact on productivity. The traditional performance rating system – with its annual goal setting and review period – is now considered ineffective by many HR leaders.
Sibel Bostanci Celebi, Head of Learning and Talent Development, SAMEAT (South Asia, Middle East, Africa, Turkey), discusses with Abby Walters how their organisation is faring after they stopped traditional performance ratings.
