Performance Reviews & Compensation Basics
The single biggest predictor of whether employees find performance reviews useful is whether they receive feedback throughout the year, not just at review time. A review should be a summary of an ongoing conversation. Never a revelation. If someone is surprised by their review, the system has failed.
Contacts & Resources
Grouped by the kind of question you're facing. Each answer names the channel to use, your HRBP, a system, or a specific inbox.
“Becoming a manager is, in many ways, a career change. It requires investing time and energy in not only continuously developing yourself, but in developing your people. Sometimes you'll fail and sometimes you won't make the best decision. Knowing that, and taking time for reflection, will always allow you to grow.”
