Even though your HR manager likely won’t ever mention it, poor employee evaluation systems just might be responsible for your business’ struggles.
Why wouldn’t that be the case?

A business with unenthusiastic employees will typically struggle. These aren’t exactly the type of employees that will go the extra mile. Especially of your aren’t standing over their shoulders. More than likely, such a crop of workers will do just enough to keep their jobs.
Conversely, a business with a bunch of ambitious, energetic employees is more likely to succeed. There is a collective effort to build the business.
Of course, your HR manager won’t tell you this. That would likely mean THEY aren’t conducting proper employee evaluation. Nobody wants to be blamed if your business is filled with a bunch of Homer Simpsons!
