Evaluating Performance in the Right Way*

Performance reviews are a part of any manager’s life. While there are differences among companies, most likely you’re required to conduct a formal performance review once a year with each of your employees. You may even be asked to give additional reviews throughout the year. Although it’s a required part of your job, and an important part of any employee’s success, performance reviews tend to be one of the more challenging tasks a manager must do. How performance reviews are conducted matter to individuals. Performance reviews are tough enough, and when they’re done poorly can have a negative impact on the employee and his or her engagement. On the flip side when they are done well, employees are energized and engaged, and excited about the future. By completing this course, you will know how to determine if you're doing the right things when evaluating an employee's performance.
