What are the advantages and disadvantages of Performance Management being handled solely by the HR department?
This was selected as Best Answer There are NO advantages to performance management being handled solely by the HR department. It has to be about a partnership integrating Senior Management, HR, Line Managers and the employees – organisations benefit from the “grandfather” approach (line manager’s manager) and it has to be a continuous process. HR have several contributions to make – ensuring fairness and equality, coaching for best practice, designing and evolving appropriate systems, etc. but NEVER should it be solely managed by HR even when it is a HR manager appraising an HR manager, there should be the connectivity to the rest of the business too.
