The performance management process in many organizations is irrelevant. Create 12-month/annual goals and then ignore the goals throughout the year.
How about a more agile process instead?
1. Create quarterly or more frequent goals that are aligned with organizational goals.
2. Make the review process more frequent - e.g., quarterly.
3. Update goals throughout the year so that they are in line with the latest organizational and market changes.

I recently heard a client say, " I have never seen an employee stick around after having been through a performance improvement process."
The challenge in many organizations is that they view discipline the wrong way. The process is filled with warnings, threats, and ultimatums, and as a result good people leave bad managers.
On the other hand, when discipline is done correctly, it can be a process that helps an employee and team be successful.
It's really about building commitment instead of compliance.
