performance reviews

Workplace feedback sessions

Performance reviews are formal evaluations of an employee's work, typically conducted annually by a supervisor.

The process usually involves assessing goals, providing feedback, and discussing areas for improvement.

Despite their intended purpose, performance reviews are widely dreaded by employees and managers alike, often criticized as bureaucratic exercises that fail to improve actual performance: I have my performance review next week and I'm already stressed.
