Performance review
What is a performance review?
Also known as a job evaluation, a performance review is essentially a formal assessment of an employee’s performance at work. This is viewed as a constructive process where areas of improvement can be outlined. Importantly, during a performance review, it’s also typical to talk about future goals which can help to boost employee retention and workplace morale.
Why are performance reviews important?
Performance reviews are key dates on the calendar for both employers and employees. During this review, different topics are explored and discussed. As such, these reviews act as a great way for employers to get on the same page as their employees.
While both strengths and weaknesses are discussed, these reviews are typically positive steps for all parties. Whether these reviews are conducted monthly, quarterly, or annually, they influence everything from career development to clearly understanding an employee’s role within the company.
