Express Evaluations

Only 29% of employees believe their performance reviews are fair. Just 26% believe they’re accurate. It’s no wonder reviews can feel more like judgment than development. The solution isn’t more forms or fancier rating scales. It’s better conversations. One thing to try this month: Start your next evaluation conversation with this: “Let’s begin by talking about the wins you’re most proud of this quarter.” It shifts the energy. Builds trust. Opens the door to honest feedback that feels constructive, not condemning. Recognize first. Review second.

74% of employees say they only get performance feedback once a year or less. And yet, most of us want to grow. We want to know if we’re doing great work, and we want to know where we can do better. The problem isn’t that people fear feedback. It’s that it’s too late by the time they get it. One thing to try this week: At the end of your next 1:1, ask: “Can I give you one small piece of feedback that might help you level up this week?” Keep it short. Make it actionable. Most importantly: make it feel like support, not judgment. Feedback shouldn't be an event. It’s a conversation.

Only 50% of employees strongly agree they know what's expected of them at work. That means half your team might be operating without a clear plan. They're showing up and guessing at what matters most. And we wonder why engagement is low... Let's be real. Clarity isn’t a bonus. It’s a baseline. One thing to try this week: Ask each direct report: “What do you believe your top three priorities are right now?” Then compare their answer to yours. If they don’t match, you’ve just uncovered your most important coaching opportunity. Start with clarity, and watch what follows.

Just because your team works from home... doesn’t mean they should feel disconnected. In 2025, employee evaluations must continue to evolve with remote and hybrid teams.

Employee engagement MASSIVELY affects productivity. But even though we've known this for a long time, a lot of companies are just starting to recognize how much engagement at work is impacted by everything that happens in someone's life outside of work. When we recognize employee well-being, and take steps to support it, it can lead to huge positive outcomes. That's why we predict that measuring employee wellness will be an even bigger part of the evaluation process in 2025. Want to see what else we're predicting? https://lnkd.in/gvg_Vng3
