What is it that employers are doing, and how can they keep making the same error on an annual basis? Read on to find out whether you’re doing this too, and how you can stop it.
The Employee Evaluation Killer
The mistake is that you’re only carrying out performance reviews
once per year. “Why is that wrong?” you’re probably asking, bewildered. “I thought that’s the way it’s supposed to be done. That’s why they’re called ‘annual employee evaluations.'”
Here’s the problem: when you only assess your workers’ performance once a year, you tend to focus on the one thing they’ve done over the past 365 days. This one thing could be good or bad. But when you concentrate on that one thing, it defines the employee. And that’s not fair.
Employees are human, which means that they do many things on a daily basis which are both good and bad. By only paying attention to one action, you’re not painting a full picture of the worker’s capabilities, talents, personality or suitability for the position.
Managers need deeper insight into what their employees do on a daily basis, and evaluating workers only once a year isn’t going to accomplish that goal.
Fixing the Problem
By now, you’re most likely saying, “Okay, I shouldn’t do performance reviews once a year. But I can’t do them every day. How often am I supposed to do them?”
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to that question. How often your company should hold employee reviews will depend on your firm’s culture, industry and the managers themselves. Do the supervisors feel as though they have a thorough understanding of what’s happening on the ground?
Moreover, do they even feel as though they have a thorough understanding of employees’ roles and job functions?
If the answer to those two questions are “no,” that doesn’t mean that it’s time to perform an employee performance review. It means that you need to gain a thorough understanding of what your workers do and how they do it first.
