It’s confirmed: Many employees hate performance reviews. At the recent SHRM Annual Conference & Expo 2021, attendees learned that, upon receiving the annual performance review, 18 percent of women reported crying, while 25 percent of men reported doing so. Thirty-four percent of Millennials said the annual review has driven them to tears.
Another interesting statistic: 57 percent of individuals surveyed reported that the annual review made them feel they were in competition with co-workers.
