Annual reviews—nobody likes them! Instead of growth day, it feels like judgment day.
Once a year, you spend hours filling out review sheets. You rack your brain trying to remember all the good (and not so good) that happened with every team member. It’s hard to recall what happened last week, let alone seven months ago!
Reviews stress out your team, too. The way they see it, all you do is list everything they’ve done wrong. You wind up talking AT them, not WITH them. They leave your office feeling discouraged rather than empowered.
Ditch the annual reviews, and switch to a monthly check-in!
Before meeting with your team, ask each person to fill out a check-in form. This gives them a chance to reflect on their accomplishments, what they’re most proud of, and what challenges they faced. THEY lead the conversation—and you have less work to do!
