Research on removal of Performance Rating Systems in Global Companies

Dear Freelancers, I require a freelancer to carry out research on companies that have recently removed their performance rating systems from their annual employee performance review process. Note: This does not necessarily mean removal of the performance review process – only removal of the quantifiable performance ratings (e.g., Rating from 1-5) given to individuals. Note II: It is pivotal that companies that maintain a ‘shadow rating system’ in the background should NOT be included in the research (e.g., they have removed ratings from the perspective of the employee but HR still operate and run an ‘undercover’ rating system). In principle, this project is split into the following 3 phases: 1) The Freelancer must collect market intelligence from 10 companies around the globe (preferably in the Financial Industry Sector)- please use only well-known brands! 2) The Freelancer must collect market intelligence from 10 public papers (e.g., white papers, news articles, research reports dissertations etc...) on the challenges/ advantages of removing performance rating systems. 3) Once collected, the Freelancer must summarize the key findings into a 5 page (A4- size 14) document (.docx) each- 5 pages on point 1) and 5 pages on point 2). Finally, the successful freelancer should have experience in the field of Human Resources (ideally Performance Management). When you respond, please mention your experience in this respect. Whilst, I have a defined budget for this project, I will provide a bonus on top of it, for the selected freelancer if my expectations have been exceeded! ;o)
