Remember when performance reviews meant once-a-year formal meetings, evaluation sheets, and a flurry of anxiety? Many companies still cling to that old rhythm. But in 2025, with work moving faster and roles changing more often, the old model make it too late to course-correct.
Increasingly, organisations are realising that continuous feedback is the pulse-check that modern teams need. Because when feedback happens in real time, performance becomes a process and not a formality.
Traditional annual or bi-annual performance appraisals have long been the norm. Companies evaluate each employee’s work over the past months, assign ratings, and link that to rewards or promotions. Global research continues to show that annual appraisals alone don’t improve performance consistently, largely because they offer limited visibility and delayed feedback.
According to a 2025 report, many companies admit their legacy performance-management process fails to drive both engagement and high performance. Deloitte’s research shows that companies shifting to continuous performance management see stronger alignment, more meaningful conversations, and higher-quality feedback exchanges between managers and employees
In other words, growth opportunities are lost by the time feedback lands.
A shift studied in recent literature argues that continuous feedback aligns better with fast-changing work conditions. It allows real-time performance improvement and continuous alignment with changing business needs.
Shifting from annual appraisals to continuous feedback takes time. There are real barriers:
The shift needs intent, tools, and discipline.
This is where a solid performance-management system (PMS) with real-time workflows brings transformation.
With tools like these, feedback becomes a living process instead of an annual burden.
In 2025’s work environment is fast-paced, hybrid, unpredictable. So, waiting for feedback is a disservice to talent and to enterprise. Continuous feedback may demand more upfront effort and openness. But it delivers relevance, realism and trust that annual reviews rarely do. Equip yourself with the right tools, the right mindset, and build a culture where feedback isn’t a mechanical checkbox. It’s a conversation. It’s growth.
