Top Hacks for Impactful Performance Reviews

Top Hacks for Impactful Performance Reviews: 
 
Many organizations are currently in their performance review season. I can tell stories of extremely impactful review sessions…and some pretty big duds! 
 
I see performance reviews as a chance to take more time with your leader to dive deeper and really focus on your development. Celebrating the year and what is going well but also have a few areas to grow.
 
This is a two-way street so the hacks can be used by both team member and leader. Both absolutely have ownership to make this a meaningful, value-added process.
 
I know these sometimes get a bad rap for various reasons (and I can sympathize with this). However, when done intentionally, they can add a TON of value for the leader and team member engaged in the conversation. It can be extremely motivating and fulling and help chart a fantastic course for the coming months!
   
Top Hacks for Impactful Performance Reviews:
  • Set solid SMART goals that align with the organization (Always love the bonus personal development goal or two!)
  • Prepare and provide objective examples throughout 
  • Avoid any biases (i.e. One project went well, so everything got a 5 star rating with no constructive feedback).
  • Don’t shy away from honest and constructive feedback, in good faith. Done in a kind, caring and professional way can promote the most positive impact/growth.
  • Two-way feedback and conversation
  • Document, revisit and update throughout the year
  • Plan next steps and map out the ‘how’! 
  • Recognize and celebrate the great accomplishments.
  
 The biggest and best hack: 
  • No surprises! Always strive for on-going feedback and performance communication. It is engaging and meaningful to know where you stand, what is going well and what can be focused on for continued growth!

Kudos to several of our clients who have had us update and relaunch their performance review process now and over the past few years! Great job taking care of your team and providing a solid path forward!
