Employers use midyear performance reviews as a means to discuss with employees their progress on goals and performance to date.
Conducting a midyear review allows supervisors a formal opportunity to check in with their employees for a few purposes, including the following:
Provide positive feedback on work to date or accomplishments and constructive feedback on areas where performance may be lacking.
Discover and eliminate possible roadblocks that may hinder employee performance or prevent the employee from achieving the set goals.
Adjust goals if organizational or departmental needs have changed.
Discuss employee satisfaction and head off issues for valuable staff.
Provide time for manager/employee exchange of ideas.
Fundamentally, checking in frequently with direct reports assists in building relationship and a cohesive team. A formal six-month performance appraisal allows for midyear adjustments, preventing surprises at the year-end performance review.
