Providing Constructive Feedback
Regularly providing constructive feedback to employees to help them understand their strengths and areas for improvement is critical to the continuous improvement of each employee.
Delivering a Formal Evaluation
Being able to periodically evaluate an employee’s performance is an essential tool, whether through performance appraisals, performance evaluations, and even annual performance reviews.
Professional Development
Identifying opportunities for training programs, coaching, or skill development to enhance each individual’s performance can lead to improved career opportunities and employee satisfaction.
Measuring Performance
For many organizations, performance management goes beyond qualitative reviews and extends into quantifiable performance metrics that can be measured in ongoing performance review meetings.
Performance Improvement Plans
