Frequently asked questions

What makes a performance review feel fair to the employee?
No surprises. A good review conversation should cover only things the employee has already heard during the year — in 1:1s, in feedback moments, in project debriefs. The review documents the year's conversation; it should not introduce new information. If something is being said for the first time in a review, that is a management failure, not an employee one.
Is it really free?

Can I print it more than once?
