More companies are adopting ongoing, real-time evaluations versus annual reviews, which aligns with employee requests for more frequent evaluations that help them grow and develop, and respond to challenges more immediately.

Evaluations of the past are no longer relevant. The days of evaluating every employee by the same metrics are gone.

Research has shown that nearly half of employees believe that evaluations are a waste of time. And for many managers, there either is no set standard for evaluation or it is irrelevant to their team with no metrics or context to fairly and accurately measure performance.

Performance evaluations can be a challenge for everyone involved especially when they only occur once per year. Keeping accurate, detailed notes. Recalling periods of high and low performance – successes and failures. Points of friction or poor communication.

As a member of the Customer Success Team at Truvelop, Juliana Withers works directly with our customers and end users and is constantly looking for ways to improve the overall user experience. During one of her weekly calls, a customer recently asked about Rater Reliability and best practices for ensuring that her managers were consistently conducting fair and objective evaluations. And just like that, Carreen Kouts, HR Director of R2integrated, LLC inspired Juliana to add a new resource to our Knowledge Center.
