Learning to Love Performance Review Season

All too often, performance reviews are dreaded by managers, employees, and the human resources (HR) staff. The process can be tedious and time consuming for managers. Employees may respond negatively to critical feedback. The HR department must oversee the process and ensure its completion. The bottom line – the performance review process isn’t working, however, HR technology can make a difference.

• Using an HR software system can allow managers and employees to collaborate during the review process. Collecting feedback from not only the manager but other parties that work with the individual, can create a more complete picture before entering into the actual review.
• Keep information organized using HR software. Having a single place to input accomplishments, challenges, and goals for employees will save time.
• Of course, it is always important to evaluate what has gone wrong, however, more importantly growth comes from examining what was done right. Using HR software to document accomplishments can help provide easy recall to encourage more of that behavior in the future.
• Having a two- way, open line of communication can aid in letting an employee understand how their performance goals fit in with the organizations’ objectives.
• Timely feedback ensures employees receive important feedback when it is needed and can make adjustments accordingly.
