I’m Elizabeth Schlissel and this is the Employment Edge with Liz. Employees are not mind readers. If you want to help create a high performing employee, you need to give them constructive feedback. You need to tell them what they’re doing well and areas in which they can improve upon. A great way to do this is to conduct performance reviews, at least annually if not quarterly.
This allows a positive exchange of what an employee is doing that the company likes and what the company thinks that they need to improve upon or change or tweak a little bit. I know that it’s time consuming and I know that it’s something that a lot of employers put off, but if you want that high performing employee, take the time, invest in your employees and conduct performance reviews.
