APR 8, 2026
Sau khi thiết kế lại quy trình đánh giá hiệu suất ba lần trong tám năm, một nhà lãnh đạo về con người chia sẻ những gì bà biết bây giờ nhưng ước gì đã biết ngay từ đầu.
Điều không thay đổi
I have tried annual reviews, quarterly reviews, no formal reviews, continuous feedback only, and various hybrids. The format matters much less than I once thought. What does not change is the importance of honest, specific, timely feedback: regardless of the system, employees want to know how they are doing, where they stand, and what they need to do to progress. Any process that reliably produces that conversation will work. Any process that avoids it will fail, regardless of how well-designed it is on paper.

The most impactful single change I have made to any performance process was introducing calibration sessions. Before calibration, our performance ratings were largely a reflection of manager generosity rather than employee performance. A 4 out of 5 from one manager meant something completely different from a 4 out of 5 from another. Calibration did not eliminate subjectivity, but it reduced rating variance significantly and made the distribution more meaningful. It also created a forum for managers to share what their highest and lowest performers were actually doing, which transferred good practice across the organisation.
