We recently published a blog post on how organizations can make self-evaluations part of the performance review process. Asking employees to review themselves makes them an active participant in their evaluation. Instead of sitting down with their manager and being told how they are performing, they can bring their thoughts to the meeting and have a back-and-forth discussion. Employees are more receptive to their performance reviews when they’re given the opportunity to highlight work and results they’re proud of. We now want to help those employees by providing advice on how they can best com ..read more

We often make our greatest improvements through feedback. A thoughtful critique from someone we trust can shed light on where we stand to improve on whatever endeavor we’re taking on.

The best employees are open to learning what changes they can make to deliver even better work. And great managers are always monitoring an employee’s performance and providing them with the direction they need to produce impactful results. While manager-to-employee feedback is expected, t ..read more

We’re all aware of the stigma that surrounds performance reviews. Even if you have never gone through the process yourself, you’ve probably read one of the many articles outlining all their pitfalls. One issue that always makes the list is the anxiety employees experience when it is time to discuss their performance with their manager. They go into the meeting completely unaware of what to expect. And that is a scary proposition when the discussion can change the course of their career and livelihood.   Forward-thinking organizations have resolved many of the challenges with employee ..read more

The more frequently employees receive feedback, the better. As an HR professional, you’ve surely heard that before. And maybe you’ve tried to implement weekly, biweekly, or monthly 1-on-1 meetings between managers and their direct reports.  Taking measures to ensure frequent feedback happens makes a lot of sense in theory.
