Performance reviews

Regular performance reviews are a great tool for assessing both individual and team performance in design. Here’s how to conduct an effective one:

• Constructive feedback: Focus on providing feedback that is constructive and actionable. Highlight what was done well and discuss areas for improvement, ensuring the feedback is specific and based on observable behaviors.
• Skill assessment: Evaluate if the current skill sets meet the project's needs. Discuss any gaps and identify training or development opportunities to bridge them.
• Future goal setting: Use the review as a chance to set goals for the future. This helps keep team members motivated and aligned with the team’s long-term objectives.
• Recognition and rewards: Acknowledge accomplishments and discuss rewards or recognition for good performance.
