The Supervisor Survival Series: Talk to Employees Regularly

February 19, 2020

This may seem obvious, but it’s worth stating: Supervisors and managers should have regular conversations with their employees throughout the appraisal year. In the course of those conversations, supervisors should provide feedback on the employee’s performance and conduct – positive and negative. The benefits to regular interactions are too many to list here but include improved employee morale, clarity of provided expectations, an increase in employee willingness to be honest with the supervisor, and a better understanding of the challenges employees are facing.
