Mid-year performance reviews serve as a valuable opportunity for employers to engage with their employees, assess progress, provide feedback, and align goals. However, conducting effective mid-year reviews requires careful planning, communication, and a focus on constructive feedback.
Employers need to rethink how they engage with workers to create the best possible employee experience and inspire team members to stay longer. Inspiring your Team Members can help retain talent by fostering a positive work environment, boosting employee morale, and increasing job satisfaction, which in turn can lead to higher employee retention rates and attract new talent.
One of the many benefits of Truvelop is the messaging our Customer Success team sends to leaders and managers twice a month.

The restaurant industry has historically dealt with labor shortages. Companies have always struggled with the seasonal nature of jobs and with replacing older, skilled laborers with younger workers. The industry will, however, start facing a larger problem.
Performance evaluation is more than an indicator for an annual raise or bonus. Employee performance can be monitored, redirected and improved. Team dynamics and talent challenges can be impacted when low- or high-performing employees are not nurtured and engaged.
At Truvelop, we know that change isn’t just manager-driven. Employees have the ability to drive their own experience and create an environment that inspires growth and engagement. That’s why Truvelop sends out monthly Truvelop Tips directly to the employees of each of our clients. Here’s an excerpt from July’s Employee Truvelop Tip: Adjust and Refocus for the Second Half.

Daily check-ins serve as a valuable tool to touch base with your team, provide support, and align on goals. However, it’s essential to strike a balance between effective check-ins and micromanaging.

Evaluations are great ways to document performance and productivity. With the Truvelop app, we make it easy for managers to routinely evaluate employees and even provide employees the option to request an evaluation. However, evaluations can lack context, so they don’t always tell the whole story. For both manager and employee, context matters and is important to understand why a team member is behaving in a certain way or not performing to standards.

Without data, it’s impossible to have an objective and transparent performance check-in. Data provides the foundation for managers to open discussions around what’s going well, what’s worth improving, and how far has the employee come. Data allows managers to gut-check how they think their team is doing, and use that information to let the employee know where they stand today.
