Employee Supervisor Communication
Two-way communication between employees and supervisors is critical to everyone’s success. Providing or receiving feedback and candidly addressing concerns can build a more productive work environment. An open dialogue can help clear the air and pave the way for an effective performance evaluation with no hard feelings and a clear perspective on expectations. Nothing contained in the performance evaluation should be a surprise; it should not be the first time an employee hears about an issue.
