We’re already at the end of June.<\/p>\n

Can you believe how quickly the first six months of the year have flown by?<\/p>\n

For many organisations this time of the year marks performance review season.\u00a0For some it could mean\u00a0staff half-yearly appraisals; for others it’s annual review time.<\/p>\n

While some large companies have a team of people dedicated purely to employee engagement working full time on assessing employee satisfaction, co-ordinating 360\u00ba feedback<\/a> and conducting performance appraisals, in smaller organisations employee engagement and staff satisfaction (key measures of staff retention<\/a>) are often left to fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n

What should really be conducted as formal<\/em> conversations\u00a0often become a quick impromptu catch up over a sandwich at a nearby caf\u00e9, a 15 minute chat in a taxi on the way back from a client meeting, or worse still a two-line email along the lines of \u201cYou\u2019ve done a terrific job this year. Keep up the good work<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

We’ve written about how to conduct a successful performance review<\/a> in the past. We’ve also posted tips on how not<\/em> to deliver feedback<\/a>\u00a0when evaluating\u00a0your employees.<\/p>\n

Given that many readers will be conducting staff appraisals in the coming weeks, I wanted to share a really interesting Infographic recently published by our friends at Findmyshift.<\/p>\n

It poses the question around whether employee performance reviews are productive or destructive.<\/p>\n

It’s time for you to decide for yourself.<\/p>\n
