WHY PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE IMPORTANT

A performance review, also known as a performance appraisal, is an evaluation of an employee’s job performance. Conducted periodically – typically annually or six-monthly, these reviews assess employees’ achievements, behaviour, and alignment with organisational goals. They sit alongside regular informal check-ins and provide a formal opportunity for feedback, goal setting, and skill development, forming the basis for decisions on promotions, remuneration, training, and development opportunities.
