Mid-Year Performance Review: Thank You & What's Next

By   ·  1 minute read

The Mid-Year Performance Review process wrapped up at the end of July. A big thank you to everyone who participated!

The Mid-Year Review was designed to:

  • Provide a meaningful check-in midway through the year

  • Create a two-way feedback process for employees and their managers

  • Offer employees guidance and support from managers for the remainder of the year

  • Align and update goals
