PerformYard for Managers
Quarterly Performance Check-Ins
Quarterly Performance Check-In's are between each manager and their direct supervisor. The check-ins are designed to foster stronger communication, provide timely feedback, and ensure managers receive the support they need throughout the year.
What Quarterly Check-In entail:
- A brief performance conversation and documentation completed once each quarter (October, January, April, and July).
- Focused on accomplishments, areas for improvement, development, and support needs.
- Involves only the manager and their supervisor.
- Hosted in and tracked within PerformYard.
How to complete Quarterly Check-Ins:
- The written check-in will involve two pieces:
- Managers will complete a short self-assessment.
- Supervisors will provide feedback and identify priorities for the next quarter.
- Managers and their direct supervisors are encouraged to meet and discuss the content they both submit for the check-in including reviewing key takeaways and action steps.
Why Quarterly Check-Ins?
- Creates regular opportunities to recognize successes and address challenges in real time.
- Provides a structured forum for discussing growth and development goals.
- Strengthens alignment and partnership between managers and supervisors.
Our Goal
The quarterly check-ins are intended to be constructive, forward-looking conversations that replace the more formal, once-a-year review. By making performance discussions more frequent and collaborative, we aim to better support your success and the success of your teams.
