Every year, it happens.
It's that time when managers sit down and anaylyze the productivity of each employee and figure out, based on employee-evaluations, how to improve the company as a whole. It's a time that employees can be apprehensive about, but who knew that managers could feel the exact same way?
Dick Grote did. Thanks to his work with a variety of companies, Grote is able to assuage the employee review process, make it less painful and more productive.
Through his analysis of the importance of this HR tool, Grote helps managers understand the purpose of employee reviews and then outlines a plan detailing how to best use the information obtained for the betterment of the company.
