While the annual review may be becoming a thing of the past, performance reviews are still important to boost engagement, satisfaction, and productivity.

According to SHRM, performance reviews are periodic evaluations of an employee’s job performance against a set of expectations and goals.
It’s a crucial part of employer-employee dialogue that can help build alignment of goals and expectations, reinforce positive behaviors and outcomes, and identify areas of future focus. They can also serve as a basis for employment actions such as compensation, promotions, or even terminations.
In the past, reviews were typically held annually; however, an increasing number of companies are moving towards more frequent feedback. That’s because productivity can dip when employees are left wondering how they’re doing or where they could improve – or if they’re reminded of a mistake that happened months before. Instead, they want the chance to improve and reinforce desired behaviors as they go. Plus, by investing in more frequent conversations with employees, they’ll likely feel more valued.
During these “touch point” reviews, a manager meets with their employee once a week or every other week for a five-minute meeting on what’s going well or needs to be improved. The manager then records a few sentences with the date to document the conversation.

Complete Payroll Solutions offers two types of performance review management support that can be used independently or together.

The cost of Complete Payroll Solutions’ performance review management support depends on whether you decide to use outsourced HR support or our HRIS.
If you choose to have our certified HR professionals assist you with performance reviews on a stand-alone basis, you’ll pay an hourly consulting fee of $125/hour for clients and $175/hour for non-clients. You also have the option of purchasing an HR package from Complete Payroll Solutions. For example, as part of our Ultimate package, we’ll both help you design your review process and sit in on the meetings.
For our HRIS, we charge anywhere from $3 to $10 per employee per month depending on the functionality you choose. Keep in mind our HRIS also offers several other workforce management features such as recruitment, onboarding, benefits administration, and compliance. For just the performance management module, the cost would be $3.00 per employee per month, which includes self-reviews, peer reviews, goals, feedback, and more.
To gain the most out of your reviews, the key is to have a well-planned performance review management process in place. But with so many options out there, deciding how to structure your approach can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer specialized assistance with performance reviews both from certified HR professionals and technology.
