Effective Strategies for Performance Reviews: Insights and Resources
Written on
Performance reviews often create anxiety among leaders and team members, yet they can be incredibly beneficial when executed correctly.
If you're looking for guidance on crafting performance reviews, establishing SMART goals, or evaluating performance metrics at year-end, I’m here to assist.
With over four decades of experience in leadership and HR/Learning and Development, I have overseen performance review processes for various organizations in the UK and New Zealand.
The subsequent articles address the common challenges, inquiries, and concerns related to performance reviews. Apologies for the extensive coverage—there are 16 articles in total, reflecting the complexity of the topic. If there's anything I've overlooked (excluding mid-year reviews, which I haven’t tackled yet), please reach out.
The articles are categorized as follows:
For Leaders: - Goal Setting for Performance Reviews - Year-End Performance Evaluations - Structuring the Performance Review Process
Additionally, a few articles are available for individuals at the conclusion.
