Provide Constructive Feedback: Focus on offering actionable advice rather than just pointing out shortcomings. Be specific about what can be improved and show that you are prepared to help by having practical solutions or resources at your disposal. 

Encourage Dialogue: A performance review should be a two-way conversation. Encourage employees to discuss their achievements, challenges, and career aspirations. Listen actively, andremain open to suggestions your employee may have for you in helping them perform at their best.  

Align Goals with Development: Set goals that not only align with company goals, but that can help the employee in their development.  

Follow Up and Support: Performance reviews should be the beginning of a continuous development process. Schedule regular check-ins both formal and informal to monitor progress, provide support, and ensure goals are on track.
