The Purpose of End-of-Year Work Summaries and Performance Reviews
End-of-year work summaries and performance reviews are often seen as obligatory and unfulfilling. However, they serve the purpose of evaluating employee performance and providing feedback to superiors. Some companies require written reports, while others prioritize verbal communication. These reports help managers understand the work being done and make plans for the upcoming year. However, the quality and usefulness of these reports vary, with some being filled with unnecessary information. Alternative approaches, such as real-time feedback systems, are being explored to make evaluations more constructive and collaborative.
