Preparation prior to meeting with e

Preparation prior to meeting with employees helps alleviate some of the stress and discomfort that many evaluators feel, particularly when they’re new to providing feedback. The goal of the process is to make sure employees know they’re valued team members and to motivate them to continue positive performance and improve any areas in which they may be deficient:Schedule the meeting for a mutually convenient time, and allow sufficient time for an open conversation. Give the employee advance notice—ideally one week minimum. Don’t schedule the meeting for a time when other pressures, such as deadlines or other commitments, will be a distraction.
