Frequently asked questions
- How can I do employee appraisals when using a continuous performance management tool?
Annual appraisals are a thing of the past, instead managers and HR can use all of the information gathered in Clear Review from months of check-ins, goal progress, feedback etc. to create a snap shot of employee’s performance whenever they want to do an employee performance review.
- Are once a month check-ins really necessary?
Continuous employee performance management is all about meaningful and frequent communication. Without dedicated time to talk to a manager people may struggle in silence and performance might start to drop, so leaving more than a few weeks between check-ins could be counterproductive to what you are trying to achieve with a continuous model.
- Why should we encourage employees to give feedback?
Many managers will not work sitting next to their entire team, observing everything they do. By having employees give feedback to one another, managers are able to get a much more rounded view of performance which helps them when it comes to creating snapshots for employee performance evaluations.
