Long before any formal performance review takes place, the supervisor and the employee
should discuss job duties and/or performance goals as well as their associated performance
standards/expectations. On an on-going basis, the supervisor and the employee should discuss
the employee's performance against these established job duties/goals and
expectations/standards. Throughout the year, the supervisor should point out specifically in
which areas the employee is performing well and in which areas the employee needs to
improve.
Reinforcing and recognizing good job performance makes employees feel good about their work
accomplishments and enhances their motivation. It is also important for employees to receive
on-going feedback about performance areas needing improvement so that employees are
aware of performance problems (deficiencies) and can work toward correcting them. Lastly, by
providing on-going feedback, performance "surprises" for the employee at the formal
performance review should not occur. By eliminating or reducing surprises employees’ self
respect will be maintained further reducing employee low morale, grievances and even
resignations.
