年度績效評估有沒有必要？

????當前就業市場怪相叢生，其中之一就是：雖然失業率居高不下，在職者也會毫不猶豫地為更好的機會拋棄現職。普華永道（PricewaterhouseCoopers）新近的研究表明，主動離職自2010年來增加了14%，并呈繼續上升趨勢。根據美國勞工部（the U.S. Department of Labor）的數據，辭職的首要原因是：員工覺得自己的努力沒有得到直接上司的認可、欣賞。

????“雇員想知道自己做得好的地方和有待提高的地方，”離職安排和培訓業巨頭哈里森職業服務公司（Lee Hecht Harrison）的資深副總裁克里斯汀?勒夫朗說。“職業生涯方面的對話對調動員工積極性和挽留員工至關重要。”

????這家公司上個月發布的調查顯示，52%的雇員自稱很少或從未沒有當場得到過反饋。

????勒夫朗承認經理們現在捉襟見肘，根本沒時間安排經常性的指導。但她認為定期的談話、哪怕只有兩分鐘也能起到一定的作用。“快速檢視和全面的職業討論一樣重要。”

????或者正如雷澤?舒勒曼所說：“我們不妨想想橄欖球隊。比賽中的每次進攻機會，教練和四分衛都一直在不斷的交流。如果他們每年只談一次，結果會怎么樣？他們還有可能贏得比賽嗎？”

????One of the many strange quirks in the current labor market is that, although unemployment is high, people who have jobs are not hesitating to ditch them for a better offer. A new study from PricewaterhouseCoopers says voluntary turnover has increased by 14% since 2010 and is still rising. The No. 1 reason people give for quitting, according to the U.S. Department of Labor: They don't feel that their efforts are recognized or appreciated by their direct bosses.

????"Employees want to know what they are doing well and where they can improve," says Kristen Leverone, a senior vice president at outplacement and coaching giant Lee Hecht Harrison. "Career conversations are critical to engagement and retention."

????The firm did a poll, released last month, showing that 52% of employees say they rarely or never get on-the-spot feedback.

????Leverone acknowledges that managers now are stretched so thin that frequent coaching sessions are tough to fit in. But she says even a two-minute chat, on some kind of regular basis, can help: "Quick check-ins are just as important as full career discussions."

????Or as Razor Suleman puts it: "Think about a football team. During a game, the coach and the quarterback are in constant communication, play by play. What if they only talked once a year? Would they ever win a game?"
