Annual employee reviews often focus on setting goals, but this can be counterproductive. Instead, addressing problems in these reviews can lead to increased motivation, better relationships, and more effective solutions. This approach fosters trust, communication, and employee engagement, ultimately benefiting both employees and the company. Regular follow-ups are recommended to address issues promptly and effectively.
