Check-Ins

Meaning & Definition 

Monthly check-in meetings between managers and employees occur frequently with little or limited structure for holding employees accountable for their performance, but there is a complete process in place for creating annual appraisals. A check-in occurs as an informal and continuous way to manage performance; engage employees to help them achieve their goals; and resolve employee issues that arise from not performing to their full potential.

Important features of Check-Ins

• Promotes ongoing feedback and transparent communication.
• Assists in recognizing problems ahead of time, thereby allowing for correct and quick help.
• Increases employee involvement and connects managers with employees.
• Encourages alignment of employment goals & tracks performance.
• Eliminates the need for a yearly performance appraisal process.

Statutory & Policy Alignment

• There is no defined legal requirement for this definition.
• Check-in should correspond with your company’s internal performance management and feedback policies.
