With salary determinations, organizational structure implications, and several other factors to consider, delivering a productive and effective evaluation can be a challenging addition to a manager's already-hefty workload. However, these reviews are one of the most crucial ways for supervisors to assess their employees' accomplishments and contributions, and are ultimately a way to promote good morale and help ensure retention of valuable staff members.
