The Structure of Performance Reviews
Performance reviews at some companies often include an end-of-year review cycle alongside a mid-year check-in. This two-part structure allows employees to engage in meaningful discussions about their performances with their managers at more frequent intervals. The mid-year check-in is particularly beneficial as it provides a less intense environment for employees to reflect on their achievements and challenges. By having these conversations spaced six months apart, companies ensure that goals can be realigned as needed, fostering ongoing communication and reducing the likelihood of surprises at the end of the year.
