A performance review is a regular meeting between an employee and their manager to discuss the employee's work over a specific period. During this meeting, they talk about the employee's strengths, areas for improvement, and overall contributions to the team. This process helps both the employee and the manager understand how well goals are being met and what support might be needed. These reviews often include feedback on specific projects, collaboration with colleagues, and adherence to company values. They can also set the stage for future goals and professional development, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards the same objectives within the organization.
