In this episode, we talk with Ken Lloyd, author of “Performance Appraisals & Phrases for Dummies.” The book has been revised for a workforce that is vastly different than when it was first published in 2009.
In most workplaces through the decades, annual performance reviews have been something that evokes more groans than grins.
However, today’s younger workers actually embrace performance reviews when they are structured well and serve a purpose – that purpose being to provide a framework for continued growth.
Lloyd explains why performance reviews must be more frequent than annual, and why they cannot be viewed as a culmination of a process, but rather an ongoing means of helping workers grow in their roles.
His website is JerksAtWork.com, the subject of a colum he formerly published for more than 20 years in numerous newspapers.
