Employee Performance Review Best Practices

There is a fine line between an effective performance evaluation and a bad one. When done right, performance evaluations lead to motivation, goal alignment, and enhanced productivity and engagement.

On the contrary, a badly conducted review can stray your employees from the path of optimal performance and can even lead to disengagement and frustration among them.

Performance reviews are an opportunity for both managers and employees to create bridges and find ways to overcome challenges and celebrate accomplishments. Therefore, conducting frequent reviews is better than waiting for problems to grow bigger.

Performance reviews help to encourage and motivate employees to be more productive for the organization. New HRs can easily get started with conducting employee performance reviews by following the tips discussed above in this article.
