Implementing company change isn’t easy. Just ask any of the high-profile company executives profiled on the TV series, Undercover Boss. Frequently, they find out that a change they championed — a new system or policy — is a dud. The change doesn’t help employees serve customers better, or it makes their jobs even harder. In fact, the change has the OPPOSITE effect of what it was intended to do.

Why Performance Reviews are Dead (And What to Do Instead). They tend to sneak up on you like a thief in the night. If you’re consistently doing a good job, they probably seem like a giant waste of time. If your performance has slipped in a few areas, they probably feel like being sent to the principal’s office. Either way, chances are your boss dreads them just as much as you do.

Please. I’m begging you. Don’t run your own employee engagement survey. If you are currently doing so, please consider my admonition below. Of course, as someone who facilitates an employee engagement survey , I’m biased—but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
