The chief people officer of Yahoo explains why they don’t do performance reviews
- Yahoo scrapped formal performance reviews in 2022, replacing them with continuous check-ins to foster transparency and growth.
- Chief People Officer Lisa Moore explains that biannual reviews often caused disappointment and hindered timely feedback, leaving employees unaware of underperformance until year-end. Now, managers regularly discuss employee strengths, development, and team challenges in roundtables, encouraging proactive communication.
- To maintain accountability, an HR bot surveys employees about manager check-ins, ensuring productive conversations. This shift promotes a collaborative culture where managers and employees align on goals and feedback throughout the year, eliminating surprises and creating a more dynamic and supportive work environment.
