A traditional employee evaluation is conducted yearly and involves a formal meeting between an employee and their manager in a private setting. Changing the frequency of these evaluations, however, has proven to be a better way for companies to achieve their performance management goals. When organizations shift to more frequent evaluations and shorter informal discussions, issues can be addressed and resolved before they become bigger problems. Managers also have the ability to recognize and reward employee accomplishments when they happen, instead of trying to reconstruct an entire year.
