WHY PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE IMPORTANT
February 2025

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.
The Benefits of Performance Reviews for Employees and Organisations
- Clear Communication of Expectations
- Provides Constructive Feedback and Recognition
- Aligns Employee and Organisational Goals
- Identifies Opportunities for Skill Development
- Increases Employee Engagement and Retention
- Enables a Personal Development Plan to be established with goals and a timeline.
