Why is performance management so costly and time-consuming?

Traditional performance management is often a frustrating, time-consuming process for both managers and employees. Here's why:

Annual reviews cause a rush to gather information, creating time pressure for managers and potential recency bias.
Managers waste time hunting down past performance data without a central location for feedback and accomplishments.
Managers are often solely responsible for creating performance reviews, which can overwhelm busy managers lacking time and resources for detailed evaluations.
