As we near the end of the year and many companies are undergoing their annual review processes, we would like to share some tips on how managers and employees can be prepared and make the most of these meetings:
For employees:

• Review your previous goals and self-assess your progress towards them
• Note down your accomplishments from the past year to share with your manager
• Set new actionable goals and plan periodic check-ins between you and your manager
• For further tips, see this article put out by Forbes or this one from the Wall Street Journal

For managers:

• Gather feedback from others who work with the employee
• Be specific with feedback, both positive and constructive
• Review past performance and set goals for the future
