VII. Managing Performance Throughout the Year—NEXT STEPS
REMEMBER: Performance management is not just a "once a year thing." It’s a year-round, ongoing supervisory process that includes:
Continually complimenting an employee on accomplishments, large and small
Thanking the employee often for specific contributions
Keeping communication open
Giving specific directions with timeframes
Checking in regularly to see whether progress toward annual goals is on track
Giving timely, specific feedback about performance
Documenting less-than-satisfactory performance when appropriate.
