Linking One on Ones to Performance Appraisals
Many organisations will have an established annual performance appraisal process. The performance appraisal process generally commences with a one hour goal planning meeting, followed by a six monthly and an end of year review discussion. In the planning discussion the manager and employee will meet to discuss the employee’s longer term career and performance goals.
The One on One feedback sessions commence soon after the performance appraisal goal planning meeting. During the One on One feedback session the manager and employee will discuss the employee’s recent performance including how their recent performance is helping them to realise the annual goals they stated in their performance appraisal goal planning discussion.
The mid-year performance appraisal review meeting then becomes a summary of the last five One on One feedback sessions. (Assuming that you are having monthly One on One feedback sessions).
