Performance Reviews Take 3+ Hours Per Employee
Managers spend 3-5 hours per direct report writing annual reviews: recalling accomplishments, providing examples, setting goals. Generic feedback does not help development. Inconsistent ratings across managers. Late reviews delay raises and promotions.
