Mid-year Reviews


In the fall, typically in October or November, managers meet with their direct reports for a formal discussion to exchange feedback, revisit goals/expectations, and update the development plan. Mid-year reviews are intended to identify and celebrate successes and highlight opportunities for development in the remaining months of the performance year.

It is recommended to document this discussion and submit it along with the annual review. Managers can record notes from this discussion using the 'mid-year review' or 'check-ins' tabs on the online performance document.
