Your Performance Management System
Should Work for You
Not the Other Way Around
Most HR leaders inherit performance tools that look impressive in demos but fall apart in daily use. This checklist helps you see what's actually working, what's broken, and what questions to ask before you spend another dollar on software your managers won't use.
What This Checklist Helps You Do
- Audit your current system honestly
See where managers are struggling and where your process is creating more work than value - Identify adoption blockers
Find out why your performance tool sits unused while managers keep their own spreadsheets - Spot hidden costs
Calculate what you're really paying when you factor in setup time, configuration, training, and abandoned features - Ask better vendor questions
Know exactly what to evaluate when someone pitches you "the future of performance management" - Make a decision with confidence
Whether you're keeping what you have, fixing what's broken, or starting fresh
