About This Course

Traditional performance management systems often create fear, confusion, disengagement, and wasted time rather than better results. Annual reviews, vague goals, inconsistent feedback, and forced ratings can damage morale and lower productivity. This session explores why many systems fail and how organizations can replace outdated approaches with practical strategies that actually improve performance, accountability, and employee growth.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • The failure of traditional annual performance reviews
  • Statistical impact of existing performance management systems on employee motivation (Gallup data)
  • Managerial dissatisfaction and aversion to the execution of traditional reviews
  • The "backward-looking" nature of performance assessments
  • Recency bias and inconsistency in tracking year-long employee performance
  • The disconnect between delayed workplace feedback and real-time athletic/performance coaching

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
