Is It Time to Review How You Performance Review?

November 15, 2024

Just as much as employers, employees want to know how they’re performing. A clear understanding of the progress they’re making towards goals and objectives fuels their engagement, productivity and wellbeing. It also helps in reducing turnover.

Now more than ever stronger career paths based on understanding and connection between your people and their experience at work matters. Beyond more flexible work arrangements and more safety and security, employees are looking

for work-life balance, career advancement opportunities, fair compensation and continuous learning opportunities.

Performance reviews are a critical part of the employee experience. For the employee, it’s an opportunity to obtain recognition and review compensation. For the employer, it’s a chance to set expectations and deliver feedback.

Here are best practices:
Communicate Regularly

To ensure there are no surprises during the annual review, keep the lines of communication open throughout the year.

Set Clear Expectations

Set and define clear metrics to rate performance and clearly communicate the rating system to employees.

Establish Goals

Creating both short and long-term goals is an easy way to revisit an employee’s performance for the next performance review.

Consider Separating Performance from Comp Discussions

Many employers have found the when compensation increases are an expected outcome from a performance evaluation, the process can become all about waiting for the number.


Create more purposeful and promising paths for your employees.
Retain and develop your best talent and reduce employee turnover.
