• Annual reviews or quarterly check-ins?

  in c/hr-questions-answers · 23 points · 2 comments

  Leadership wants to drop the annual review. Quarterly means more frequent feedback but roughly four times the admin. Anyone who's switched: worth it, or did managers quietly stop doing them after two quarters?

• Does anyone track engagement outside the annual survey?

  Our engagement survey is once a year and by the time we act on it, half the feedback is stale. Anyone running something more frequent that doesn't turn into survey fatigue?

• Manager training in 20-minute chunks beat the half-day workshop

  Replaced an annual half-day manager training with monthly 20-minute sessions on one skill at a time. Attendance and actual behavior change both went up — people retain one thing better than ten things.
