What is a Performance Review?

A performance review is a process by which a manager evaluates an employee’s work performance, identifies their strengths and weaknesses, provides feedback, and sets future performance goals. Such reviews can be conducted annually, quarterly, monthly or even weekly. Additionally, managers use performance reviews to recognize high-performing employees, correct issues promptly, communicate expectations, encourage growth and foster employee engagement.
