This is an interesting topic, as my place of employment has recently implemented an “Employee of the Month” program. There are extensive metrics and analytics used to calculate the winner. The second and most recent winner of EotM is the worst employee, by far, in the shop/department. My point is that if you are going to use analytics to determine employee appraisals, then that can have advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is that analytics take the guess work and bias out of decisions because everyone is considered to be graded “equally”, according to the metrics.

But any analytics that result in the obvious worst choice in performance, would ultimately lead me to scrap those metrics and start again.
