Yahoo eliminated traditional performance reviews in 2022, replacing them with continuous check-ins.
Chief People Officer Lisa Moore explained that biannual reviews often left employees disappointed and unaware of performance issues until the end of the year. Instead, managers hold ongoing discussions about employee strengths, growth potential, and team concerns, fostering more frequent, productive conversations.
To ensure consistency, an HR bot surveys employees twice yearly to track manager interactions and enforces regular meetings if necessary. This shift promotes a more collaborative and transparent culture, allowing both managers and employees to address performance and goals throughout the year without surprises.
