Workers might hate performance reviews less if they looked like this

In a new study, Cornell researchers looked at how employees feel about reviews that emphasize qualitative feedback over numerical rankings.

Workers fret that reviews fail to capture the full scope of their work, or that they are an unfair assessment of their performance. For managers, reviews can be a time-consuming nuisance and involve the challenging task of delivering tough feedback.
