Employee Performance Review and Planning SessionsDear Employee,
Our supervisors will conduct performance reviews and planning sessions with all regular full-time and regular part-time employees after six months of service. Supervisors may conduct informal performance reviews and planning sessions more often if they choose.
Performance reviews and planning sessions are designed for the supervisor and the employee to discuss his/her current job tasks, to encourage and recognize attributes, and to discuss positive, purposeful approaches for meeting work-related goals. Together, our employees and supervisor will discuss ways in which our employees can accomplish goals or learn new skills. The planning sessions are designed for the employee and supervisor to make and agree on new goals, skills, and areas for improvement.
The company directly links wage and salary increases with performance. Your performance review and planning sessions will have a direct effect on any changes in your compensation. For this reason among others, it is important to prepare for these reviews carefully, and participate in them fully.
New employees will be reviewed at the end of their probationary periods. After the initial review, the employee will be reviewed according to the regular semi-annual schedule.
Yours sincerely,
