A project manager is planning the approach for appraising team performance and supporting task accountability. To ensure consistency, a team member suggests relying exclusively on the company's official semi-annual performance reviews. What is the most effective approach for the project manager to take?
Replace all formal reviews with informal feedback sessions to make the process more agile and less bureaucratic.
Adopt the team member's suggestion to use only the formal semi-annual reviews to ensure consistency and authority.
Implement regular informal check-ins and continuous feedback, in addition to the formal semi-annual reviews.
Delegate all responsibility for performance feedback to the team members themselves through peer-review sessions.
The most effective approach is to integrate regular, informal feedback and check-ins with the formal performance review process. Relying solely on semi-annual reviews is insufficient because feedback is not timely, which can delay necessary course corrections and hinder continuous development. Informal check-ins provide opportunities for immediate, ongoing guidance and support, which helps maintain team alignment and fosters a culture of accountability. While formal reviews have their place for official documentation and high-level goal assessment, combining them with continuous feedback creates a more balanced, transparent, and effective performance management system.
