Editing Performance appraisal (section)

====Recent Trends and Debates====
In recent years, some organizations have increasingly questioned traditional seniority-based approaches, arguing that they can stifle innovation and adaptability, especially in fast-paced markets like technology and healthcare. This has led to a push for more performance-oriented contracts that still incorporate elements of seniority to ensure a balanced approach. Mixed evaluation systems, combining seniority with performance metrics, [[human resource metrics]], skills assessments, and peer feedback, are becoming more popular. These systems aim to balance the stability provided by seniority with the need for a dynamic, merit-based workforce. The ongoing debate reflects the complexities of modern labor relations and the need for adaptive strategies that can meet diverse business needs.<ref>{{cite report |last1=Aumayr-Pintar |first1=Christine |last2=Bechter |first2=Barbara |title=Seniority-based entitlements: Extent, policy debates and research |url=https://www.eurofound.europa.eu/en/publications/2019/seniority-based-entitlements-extent-policy-debates-and-research |work=Eurofound |date=17 April 2019 }}</ref><ref name="Shy Stenbacka 2018 Dynamic labor market competition"/>
