How do You Perform on Performance Reviews?

Step three: Conclude by citing the employee’s strengths and areas of opportunities. Welcome feedback and encourage a commitment from the employee. 

 

Effective communication in these evaluations will acknowledge accomplishments, eliminate any unpleasant surprises and provide a blueprint for the employee to improve his/her performance. Good performance reviews can make your company great.

A performance review seems like a handy tool for both employers and employees. I know that if I've been doing well at my job, I would want that to be recognized. And if an employee enjoys her job, she would want suggestions on how to improve her performance. Hopefully the manager conducting the performance review will follow these guidelines...

I hope my old managers happen upon this story! So many times my goal has been raised after I hit a previous goal - without ever consulting me. You're right, it felt exactly as if they'd gotten what they wanted and didn't care about how to evaluate where I needed to go next. Thank you for the great suggestions!
It feels good to write.
