CEO of AI-powered performance review firm says annual evaluations weren’t designed for the AI era: ‘The practice just hasn’t kept up’
David Hassell, CEO of 15Five, argues that traditional annual performance reviews are outdated and ill-suited for the current era of rapid technological change. He suggests that the annual cadence is too slow to foster employee development and that most reviews are backward-looking. Hassell advocates for more frequent, continuous feedback integrated with AI tools to streamline the process and make it more forward-looking, ultimately reducing manager workload and employee anxiety.
