Boosting Team Performance: A Simple and Structured Approach to Quarterly Employee Check-ins

Are you & your direct reports on the same page with their performance? Do you know how satisfied they are with their job? When is the last time you got a bunch of feedback from them?

Here’s a structured way to get feedback and intentionally check in with your team that Keiko and Christina created that works well. 

I’ve used similar structures in the past, but I like the simplicity of this one. Hope you do too!

>>>Part 1 of the doc: Employee assessment<<< 1. How would you evaluate your performance in Q3?  [ ] Exceeding expectations [ ] Consistently meeting expectations [ ] Inconsistently meeting expectations [ ] Not meeting expectations [ ] Not sure what is expected of me, so it’s hard to answer 2. Overall, are you satisfied with your job? [ ] Extremely satisfied [ ] Frequently satisfied  [ ] Not always satisfied [ ] Not at all satisfied 3. Which 1-2 value(s) did you most exhibit in Q3?

4. Please provide a short explanation (up to 300 words) or bullet points for your answers above. We will discuss more during our check-in.

5. What will you strive to achieve this quarter and how can I help you? (up to 150 words)

6. What feedback or suggestions do you have for me to be a better manager for you? (up to 150 words)

>>>Part 2 of the doc: Manager assessment<<< 1. How would you evaluate your employee’s performance in Q3? [ ] Exceeding expectations [ ] Consistently meeting expectations [ ] Inconsistently meeting expectations [ ] Not meeting expectations 2. Which 1-2 value(s) did your employee most exhibit in Q3?

3. Please provide a short explanation (up to 300 words) or bullet points for your answers above. We will discuss more during our check-in.
