Performance Review

What is Performance Review

Home / HR Glossary terms / Performance Review

A performance review is a formal, documented evaluation of an employee's work over a specific period. It’s a key component of the broader performance management process. This isn't just a meeting; it's an official record. A well-structured review provides a fair assessment, sets future goals, and serves as a legal document to justify compensation decisions, promotions, or—if necessary—termination.
