The shift away from formal numerical performance ratings is at an interesting tipping point. According to a recent CEB study, approximately 6% of the Fortune 1000 have removed ratings, 15% of companies are in the process of deciding whether to do so, and 28% of companies would consider it. On the other hand, 51% of companies say they do not plan on removing ratings….

Performance continues to be one of the most universally challenging activities, with many companies losing a whole quarter of productivity at review time. The emphasis continues to be on technology and measurement solutions, instead of tackling the challenge where it is hardest: changing the mindset and the quality of conversations.

1. Rating-less performance management goes mainstream. The evolution of performance management hit a tipping point in 2015, with a growing number of bellwether organizations publicly abandoning giving people formal performance ratings. This happened faster than most people predicted.
Discover how large organizations are evolving beyond ratings and transforming performance management. In the coming days, the NeuroLeadership Institute will publish a paper called the Performance Report. This report is based on in-depth interviews with large companies that removed performance ratings. We studied 33 such organizations over a one-year period and identified 16 significant trends. These include:
- There is no “one size fits all” model
- More conversations are happening, focused on growth and development
- Everyone is still identifying top performers
- Pay-for-performance and pay-differentiation are alive and well
Join Beth Jones (Head of Performance Practice, NeuroLeadership Institute) for a webinar that unpacks this new report and distills some key insights. Participants will learn about the neuroscience of what makes ratings so harmful, examine data and emerging trends in these post-ratings companies, and discover what’s in store for the future of performance management.

The move away from conventional, ratings-based performance management continues to gain momentum.
By November this year, at least 52 large companies had shifted from the practice of once-yearly performance appraisals; estimates are that hundreds of other companies are considering following suit. A wide range of industries are represented, from technology (39% of the 52) to business services (19%).
At the NeuroLeadership Institute, we’ve conducted in-depth research with 33 of these 52 companies to find out what really happens when companies remove performance ratings. Here are some of our high-level findings…
The NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) has been closely studying the move away from performance ratings since 2011, when a few organizations had publicly made the shift. By fall of 2015, between 50 and 70 large companies had abolished ratings-centric performance management (PM), including Accenture, Deloitte, and GE.
As others consider following suit, they naturally have questions about the challenges, benefits, and implementation of “non-ratings-centric” PM. The experience of a small number of these companies has been catalogued but there are few larger-scale analyses of PM innovators.
This report is one of the largest field studies to date of organizations who have made the leap beyond appraisal scores…
