Performance Review Goals Examples for Employees and Managers in 2022

This article on using employee performance reviews to develop A Players was originally published in September 2019. It was updated to include new information and statistics in October 2021. An effective employee review should be comprised of more than just a quick conversation once or twice a year. It’s more than just asking employees how they feel about the work they’re doing and giving a few pointers. In fact, 82% of HR leaders said that performance management was not achieving its main goal at their company. That’s a good reason to take a second look at your company’s standard procedure for performance reviews.

It’s that time of year: employee performance appraisals are around the corner at many companies. Whether your performance review cycle is monthly, quarterly, or twice a year, it’s nearly time to check in with your employees.  But performance appraisals can be stressful for everyone involved, and they don’t always have the desired outcome. Only 14% of employees say that performance reviews motivate them to improve. 95% of managers are not satisfied with how their company conducts reviews.
