News reports of a possible 'double dip' recession, with all the hand wringing and mud slinging that go with it, does raise an often thorny yet important issue for all organisations.
Accurate employee performance appraisal information is critical in helping organisations through a downturn.
Hard choices will have to be made and priorities decided upon, but they should not be to the detriment of the organisation in the long term.
A way to ensure this is to base decisions upon good objective feedback (360 feedback or otherwise) and objective performance data...or as near to that nirvana as you can get.
Taking an objective, fair but more robust approach to performance management has never been more important as companies may have to face doing more with less.
