Recommendation

Ah, the dreaded performance review: You and your employee feel uncomfortable. Together, you either inadequately address issues that really matter or just mechanically fill out and sign appraisal forms. You both leave the meeting dissatisfied. If this describes the way you conduct employee evaluations, take heart: It doesn’t have to be like that. In fact, if you handle the performance review process properly, it can make you and your staff happier, increase productivity and keep your most talented people from looking elsewhere. Human resources consultant Sharon Armstrong provides a practical guide, complete with helpful checklists and sample documents. getAbstract believes that managers who suffer performance-review anxiety just need to follow Armstrong’s deft advice and soon they’ll look at employee evaluations as productive, effective tools for reaching company goals.

Take-Aways

  • Managers and employees alike often view performance reviews as unpleasant, but your appraisals don’t have to be nasty ordeals.
  • The performance evaluation can be a valuable tool for increasing productivity and helping a company reach its goals.
  • This review should be part of an ongoing discussion; it should not be a one-time event.
