The Performance Management Upgrade: Why Systems Fall Short and How to Fix Yours

In this expert session, Teri Fisher, CEO of Insight Strategies, reveals why traditional performance management systems often fall short and how to fix them. She discusses the staggering costs of poor systems, noting that promoting the wrong person can cost up to 10 times their salary while managers lose nearly two months a year dealing with underperformers. By addressing common pitfalls like stagnant processes, ratings inflation, and delayed feedback, Teri provides a practical roadmap for transforming performance reviews into a strategic advantage.
