Frequently asked questions
How often should performance reviews happen?
At least once a year, with a mid-year check-in. Regular one-to-one conversations between reviews make the formal review far more useful.
What is succession planning?
Succession planning identifies the roles your business cannot afford to leave empty and prepares people to step into them, so a resignation does not become a crisis.
How do you measure employee engagement?
Through confidential staff surveys, focus groups and analysis of exit interviews and turnover, followed by an action plan management commits to.
