Do Performance Reviews Really Matter?

Performance reviews incite fear in many employees because they remind us of childhood report cards, reducing us to a series of figures and statistics. TRC Staffing Services, Inc. explores the role that performance reviews play in the workplace.

2013-04-23
NORCROSS, GA, April 23, 2013 (Press-News.org) Few things inspire as much apprehension in the workplace as a looming performance review. No matter how diligent and competent we may be, most of us are still at least somewhat nervous as we enter our annual or semi-annual review. We desire to not only meet but exceed the expectations that our employers place on us because these benchmarks typically determine who will receive raises, promotions, or even whether or not we will remain employed with that business.

Atlanta staffing agency professionals at TRC Staffing Services, Inc. explain that this fear response could be due to memories of our childhood report cards. Performance reviews are truly the adult equivalent, packaging our long hours of hard work into neat figures and statistics that define who we are within a company.

Performance reviews do not need to be feared events, however. Not only are they limited in their scope, research has pointed out that they are often ineffective if not handled appropriately. Atlanta employment agency specialists suggest looking at a review as an opportunity to receive constructive criticism, allowing you to strengthen your areas of weakness. To keep reviews in perspective, remember that receiving a couple points of negative feedback is normal in many jobs.

Hearing that you need to improve in a particular area provides a chance to open up dialogue with your supervisor. "Display your dedication by working with your employer to create actionable short-term goals," says Tom Bodeep, Senior Vice President of Atlanta employment agency TRC Staffing Services, Inc. "This not only reaffirms your commitment to your job, it shows that you can problem solve."

TRC Staffing Services, Inc. is an award-winning Atlanta employment agency. Their core business areas include contract labor, contingent-to-hire, direct hire, and payrolling, among others. Their innovative Atlanta staffing agency has developed effective workplace management solutions for employers, opening doors for highly qualified and reliable job seekers.

Grains of sand from ancient supernova found in meteorites

2013-04-22
It's a bit like learning the secrets of the family that lived in your house in the 1800s by examining dust particles they left behind in cracks in the floorboards. By looking at specks of dust carried to earth in meteorites, scientists are able to study stars that winked out of existence long before our solar system formed. This technique for studying the stars – sometimes called astronomy in the lab — gives scientists information that cannot be obtained by the traditional techniques of astronomy, such as telescope observations or computer modeling. Now scientists ...

Diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer: A review for physicians

2013-04-22
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death from cancer, and while family physicians in Canada only see 1 cases a year, the number of cases is expected to increase as the population ages. A review in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) provides an evidence-based overview of diagnosis and treatment of the disease for general physicians. The main risk factor for pancreatic cancer is smoking, although about 20% of patients have a family history of the disease. Symptoms usually manifest 10 years after the start of the disease, which means screening has ...
