Employee Annual Reviews

I completed EOY reviews. They are very painful, probably more for me. This is because it seems some are afraid that increased knowledge (improvement) may mean increased responsibility and not always with increased pay. The injustice I find is that in our general area, competitive salaries remain, in my opinion, lower than some of those salaries one makes working in a local grocery chain.

As an employee, I think that it helps employees grow and improve productivity by having the objectives, goals, and expectations stated and discussed during the hiring process. Then it is important to give feedback during the year to let the employee know if they are on target with the stated goals. If changes are made to support organizational changes, it is important to make sure the employees know how this affects them and how they can readjust their goals to meet the organizations needs.

Ed,

Timely piece as I was just working on my teams' reviews today.

A thing I find very beneficial is to have very specific and measurable objectives for people in the first place. Then, you grade the performance against an objective standard, instead of grading the person against a subjective one.
