performance feedback
Employee evaluation input
Performance feedback is information given to someone about how well they're doing their job or completing a task.
In workplace settings, it typically flows from supervisor to employee, though 360-degree feedback gathers input from peers and subordinates too.
The term emphasizes the evaluative and developmental purpose: She scheduled a meeting to give him performance feedback on the project.
Good performance feedback is specific, timely, and actionable rather than vague or purely critical.
