Gunster attorney Meredith Plummer recently spoke with Bloomberg Law regarding the decision many companies are making to move away from traditional yearly performance reviews, instead opting for more frequent check-ins.
The article examines a number of considerations for companies to be aware of in implementing this transition, and Plummer underscores the importance of accurately documenting performance issues and providing specific, actionable feedback to employees.
“Recycling old feedback risks exposing companies to legal trouble because it doesn’t provide up-to-date insights into employees’ growth and development,” Plummer cautions.
