Gather quantitative data, review notes from previous 1-on-1s, and collect <a href=\"https:\/\/itdworld.com\/blog\/human-resources\/360-degree-feedback\/\">360-degree feedback<\/a> from peers. Ask the employee to complete a self-evaluation to uncover any discrepancies between how they view their performance and how you view it.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Conducting the Meeting<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Frame the conversation as a collaborative coaching session, not a trial. Start by highlighting achievements. When discussing areas for improvement, make sure to give <a href=\"https:\/\/itdworld.com\/blog\/leadership\/constructive-feedback\/\"><strong>constructive feedback<\/strong><\/a> focused on behaviors, not personality traits. Ask open-ended questions like, &#8220;What roadblocks are preventing you from reaching your goals, and how can I support you?&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Post-Review <a href=\"https:\/\/itdworld.com\/blog\/leadership\/follow-up-behavior-change\/\">Follow-Up<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The biggest mistake managers make is filing the review away and not discussing performance again for another year.
