What if you and your staff were on the same page every week? What if you knew about an employee’s mom that had recently been diagnosed with _______ fill in the blank? Do you ever talk to your employees about goals for the firm and for themselves? Once a year maybe if they are lucky – right?
Many companies are eliminating the yearly review. 2 years ago Adobe stopped the annual review process in favor of the “check-in”. They found that they can give feedback in real time and this has a direct influence on performance. This could be constructive criticism or feedback that reinforces positive results.

With just 30 minutes a week for each employee you can dramatically change the culture and productivity in your office. Human beings crave feedback.
