In my 20 years in the workforce, it's surprising that performance reviews haven't made a difference for my staff. I'm trying to turn this around, so I've read up on how to make the most of performance reviews. Yet, I struggle with finding an effective process that benefits the employee, employer and manager.

Do you use the performance review tool, or do you do your own thing? What's the best way to do a constructive performance review that benefits both employees and management?
