Document background
The Continuous Feedback In Performance Management document has emerged as a response to the limitations of traditional annual performance reviews and the growing need for more dynamic, responsive performance management systems in modern workplaces. This document is essential for organizations operating in the United States that seek to implement or formalize ongoing feedback processes while ensuring compliance with federal and state employment laws, including anti-discrimination legislation, privacy requirements, and record-keeping obligations. It provides comprehensive guidance on establishing and maintaining continuous feedback mechanisms, protecting both employer and employee interests, and creating a framework that promotes professional development and fair treatment. The document is particularly relevant in today's rapidly evolving work environment, where regular communication and agile performance management have become crucial for employee engagement and organizational success.
