Continuous feedback is a component of modern performance management that gives managers and employees opportunities to give and receive feedback regularly. This can be accomplished in many ways, but often includes daily or weekly feedback cycles through check-ins or 1:1 meetings.
Most performance management software includes templates for providing this type of continuous feedback, with prompts automatically rolled out so nothing slips through the cracks. The feedback is also recorded in the system, making it easy to refer back to during a more formal annual performance review too.
Research has shown the clear benefits of continuous performance feedback. Organizations that use a continuous feedback model outperformed their competition by 24%. Similarly, companies who use continuous feedback models are 39% better at attracting top talent, and 44% better at retention.
