82% of managers believe they provide clear goals to their employees prior to their formal performance review, but only 46% of employees say the same.
Nearly half of the employees surveyed said their performance has at some time been reviewed against goals that were not previously communicated.
A bit of an indictment of manager’s communication skills. Of course, employees have been known to hear only what they want to hear also.
Whatever the reason, may I suggest assessing your existing team to ensure you are communicating with them in the most effective manner? Part of our business is solving these problems for companies by identifying the ideal communication pattern for both the manager and the employee.
