People Managing People: 15 Performance Reviews Best Practices + Template

Marge Konvicka, HR advisor at G&A Partners, offers managers insights on implementing a productive and meaningful employee performance review in the People Managing People article, “15 Performance Reviews Best Practices + Template.” 

The article focuses on how to transform performance reviews from a tedious task into a powerful tool for employee growth and development—and organizational success.

Konvicka says successful employee performance reviews require participation and feedback from the manager and employee, each providing a critical perspective.

“At our organization, before any formal review meeting takes place, we ask employees to complete a self-assessment reflecting on their accomplishments, challenges, and growth areas. Managers also prepare their feedback independently. 

Once both perspectives are submitted, the manager sets aside dedicated time to sit down with their direct report and openly discuss each other’s responses. 

This mutual exchange fosters clarity, trust, and a shared sense of ownership over development goals. It transforms the review from a one-sided evaluation into a collaborative, forward-looking dialogue,” says Konvicka.
