Performance reviews, contrary to popular practices are very important events in growing companies. The data post review helps them make crucial decisions related to business planning, budgeting, recruitment, retention, development, and engagement. It is not only important to have a proper performance management process set up but also train the managers on the same. Below is a list of 5 most common mistakes managers commit during a performance review.

It is important for them to see you work the way they want you to, if you have to grow any more but not only hard work is enough for the growth one should find their talent and if you are struggling for that then Talent Consultants is much needed . And that is the exact reason I have always professed ‘Purposeful visibility’ as an important strat...
