If you don’t conduct performance reviews or only do them sporadically, you are missing out on a powerful tool. Your employees won’t know what’s expected of them or have a roadmap for improvement. Event worse, if you fire them and are sued, you won’t be able to argue they weren’t working up to expectations. Their lack of a poor review or any feedback at all will be proof they were doing their jobs satisfactorily.
