5 Tips To Make Your Performance Review More Productive

Performance reviews are considered more as a threat every year banging on both employer and employees’ heads. Here are a few ways to make them less frightening and more productive;

Appreciate the good discuss the worst

Don’t miss on something good. Small or big, comment on it, tell why you liked and how it has brought value to the company.

For the things that haven’t been good so far, discuss! Do not argue. Make your suggestions and try to know the reason why things went wrong. That issue might have aroused because of some genuine problem or due to the lack of a skill that can be improved by training.

Clear-cut feedback

Give to the point feedback. Quote examples of employee’s attainments how they broke through the different endeavors.

Personality Vs. behavior

You can always talk about the behavior employee showed during the different time. Avoid making direct hits by discussing their personality hits. It won’t be useful any ways.

Don’t compare

During your performance review sessions, never compare an employee’s performance with another employee. This makes the other employee as a green-eyed monster. If you really want to quote another employee who is good at something, make your comment in a productive way that doesn’t cast down the employee being evaluated.

Give room for growth

Even the most skillful person in your company would have something to work at. There is always room for improvement. Ask questions what else he is interested in that could benefit him in performing his job more effectively.
