In many organizations, employee reviews have become a formulaic formality. The employee sits down with their supervisor once a week, once a month or once a quarter. They go over a written evaluation, talk about what could be improved and move on. But for entrepreneurs and small business owners, this corporate formula doesn't always fit.
For business owners who talk to their team every day while working through projects, the formal review might not be necessary. Still, we've seen that we all perform better when we receive some sort of feedback, employees and employers alike. So, we need to scale our employee review processes to make them work for us.
This episode, we share our own employee review processes and how we've adapted them over time. What tactics can help us deliver employee reviews that are more efficient and less awkward? How can business owners maintain open, two-way feedback and communicate that their doors are open?
