You Can’t Change What You Can’t Measure
Performance reviews should be straightforward, honest conversations about how employees are doing—not just a once-a-year formality. Employees deserve ongoing feedback, not a surprise at the end of the year. And if you’re using self-evaluations, are they actually shaping the conversation, or just a checkbox exercise? In this episode, we break down how to use job descriptions as a foundation for performance reviews and make sure these conversations are productive, meaningful, and fair. Think of this as your go-to guide for handling performance conversations the right way.
