Is there a connection between the performance evaluations and salary meetings?
“None at all. Therefore we put a significant period of time between the salary talks and the performance feedbacks. There are companies that want to create a separation like this, but carry out these two management tasks with a short interval of time in between. In such situations you cannot expect the employee not to get upset over not receiving a raise after getting a positive evaluation. On the other hand, when there are four months separating the two, like at Babylon, this kind of problem does not arise. “The feedback is intended to strengthen the manager and the employee, and encourage them to improve processes and performance, not to form a basis for salary talks.
