Why Employee Evaluations Can’t Be the Only Time Your Employees See You
Has this ever happened in one of your 360 employee evaluations:
“We really value the work you’ve done this year, Dan”
“Stan.”
“Sorry?”
“Stan. You really value the work of Stan.”
You need to be a regular presence around your employees or the above disconnect will be the least of your problems. Being available and accessible is important. It’s also equally important to offer feedback (good and bad) all year long.

This ensures the opportunity to improve isn’t just a once-a-year-thing. It’s an every-day-thing.
Making regular feedback a part of your company culture is essential. First of all, it gives you the chance to catch a slight issue in any employee before it becomes a problem, or a regular habit.
Getting an employee to stop doing something wrong is easy if they’ve been doing it for 10 days. However, if they’ve been doing it for 10 months, they’re frustrated because nobody brought this to their attention sooner. This also makes you look distant and out of touch.
Regular feedback also gives you the chance to celebrate small victories. You can pat your team on the back for good contributions that would be lost in an annual review. This helps each employee feel appreciated, while raising that employee’s value in the eyes of their coworkers.
