Performance Review

Performance Review

Performance reviews are a formal evaluation of an employee's job performance over a specific period. It is an opportunity for employers to provide feedback on an employee's strengths and to set goals for future development. These evaluations help organizations track employee progress, align goals and objectives, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Set clear expectations and goals for the employee before the review process begins.
Provide ongoing feedback throughout the year, not just during the review period.
Use objective criteria to evaluate employee performance.
Keep the conversation focused on performance and avoid personal attacks or criticisms.
Provide constructive feedback that is specific, actionable, and goal-oriented.
Encourage employees to provide feedback on their own performance and seek their input on how to improve.
