What sources of information should I gather prior to a review meeting with an employee?
As the supervisor, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are prepared for review meetings with employees. Part of your preparation should involve gathering feedback and information from a variety of sources in order to ensure that your review is as objective as possible and focuses on specific actions/accomplishments rather than general perceptions. It is important to exercise discretion when gathering information from co-workers, customers and clients and to consider issues related to privacy and confidentiality.
