Employee Reviews - Are They Worthwhile?
Started by Simon, Dec 21 2004 12:15 PM
Tis the season of employee reviews and +/- feedback to all men (and women).
I'm sure some of you will have been involved with a review of some sort recently, either as a reviewer or reviewee (is that a word?) and I wanted to canvass your opinion.
In my opinion it is essential to know what the employee is doing, how well he or she is doing it, what needs to be changed, improved or learned now and in the future.
"If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up someplace else!" as David Campbell once said.
There's no doubt if properly administered; the review process can be extremely effective and motivating. However, if my previous experience is anything to go by this type of review is often carried out by an ill equipped and inexperienced line manager, which often produces a negative outcome.
I believe employee reviews are probably of more use to white-collar workers than hourly paid who often (rightly or wrongly) couldn't give two hoots about objectives, targets or policies - what career path?
At the end of the day isn't it all just about money? But then again money doesn't motivate us does it? So the executives on 75k a year tell us.
Got any +/- experience of employee reviews to share?
Regards,
Simon
