Microsoft's new performance management approach aligns with the company's goals because:

The company wanted more teamwork, speed and agility in the organization, and the new performance management approach enables managers to give feedback more quickly and removes some silos.

The company wanted to get their performance review results faster so that their compensation team could issue compensation adjustments faster and on the timeline for the entire company.

The company wanted to ensure that feedback was done quickly so that employees always knew how their performance compared to their peers, and the new system means that employees learn their rank more frequently.

The company's goal of more friendly competition in the organization is supported but the speed of the new performance management system. Employees get feedback right away and can respond quickly.
