Performance Management System: Has Covid-19 made the broken system worse?

Performance Management Systems have been criticised for decades, as new practices and use of technology have failed to bridge the gap. However, the management of employee’s performance remains one of the biggest challenges for line managers and leaders in this new normal. 35 years ago Edwards Deming described the idea of evaluation of performance, merit rating or annual review as alluring, and the result of the process is exactly what the word means.
