performance review

Employee feedback session

A performance review is a formal evaluation of an employee's work, typically conducted annually by a supervisor.

It assesses strengths, weaknesses, and progress toward goals, often determining raises or promotions: I'm nervous about my performance review next week.

The process ranges from constructive feedback to dreaded ritual, depending on workplace culture.
