HR Tips and Techniques
 

No Surprises Allowed!

 

You sit down with an employee for their annual performance review and there are two ways it can go:

  1. The employee is SHOCKED to hear your thoughts on how they are performing. Good or bad, they had no idea and they are either shocked to hear you think they are doing great or they are shocked to hear that they have areas for improvement. Seeing as it has been a very long time since they had any feedback, their shock is understandable.

OR, perhaps there is a better way...

  1. The review discussion is focused on particular areas of strength and areas for development for the employee. This is not new information for either of you and the employee has been consciously working on leveraging their strengths and managing their weaknesses. The conversation is picking up from where you left off a few months ago and there is continuity to your feedback. The tone is collegial and focused on approaching the review with an eye to improvement and really listening to each other. There is mutual respect in all that is said.

So, which kind of performance review do you want to be a part of?  Keep Reading
