Like all employers, manufacturers tend to hold strong opinions
about the use of performance reviews and evaluations in the
workplace. Whether performance reviews make sense for a given
manufacturer usually requires an individualized assessment.
Benefits of Performance Reviews
When administered properly, performance reviews can produce
numerous benefits.
From a human resources perspective, the process can promote
consistent treatment of employees, provide employees an opportunity
to improve their performance and efficiency, help identify internal
training deficiencies, and even assess the performance of the
reviewing supervisors.
From a business and operations perspective, performance reviews
can highlight important information. For example, they can reveal
if parts or divisions within the company are underperforming.
