Performance management processes have transformed across generations and this post discusses how performance management is conducted in organizations today. This is not about how well baby boomers and Gen Xers can accommodate the feedback-hungry millennial generation. Employee performance management<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a process by which, an organization tries to ensure the high-performance of an employee through a set of activities and ensure that employee goals have been fulfilled efficiently.

Millennials expect to receive feedback more frequently, whereas Gen Zers are eager to receive feedback\u00a0daily.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
